certain everybody field geared pass periods speed stuff toward trying work
We have certain periods where we work on pass-rush drills, one-on-one, speed and stuff like that. Really, everything is geared toward the pass rush. Everybody is trying to get up the field and try to get in the quarterback's face.
beginning camp defense playing since talked trying whoever
I think that's big because we've always since the beginning of camp talked about trying to be the No. 1 defense in the league. So whoever is playing has got to try to live up to that.
bowls defense seen super teams win wins
I've seen teams win Super Bowls like that. Defense wins championships in this league, and I don't see why we should be any different.
game plan
It would be tough. You can't you have to guess, you have to double-check everything. You have to game plan for a lot of stuff.

almost ball defense games images mirror playing solid teams turn winning
Teams have been able to get after them. We're kind of in the same situation. We're almost mirror images of each other.

What they're going to give us, we're going to give them. We just can't turn the ball over.

carolina coming continue deserve felt game hard hype
You know they had all the hype coming into the (last) game and we felt they didn't deserve it. And I think again, (they have) a lot more hype than they should, and we're going to continue to play as hard as we can. I'm not downplaying the Carolina Panthers, but I'm up-playing us.

ability
On paper, we have the ability to be a top-three defense. That's on paper. Now we have to go out and do it.
biggest dictates rush secondary work
You have to work on that first step, getting off on the ball. That kind of dictates what's going to happen. And then there's a secondary move. But the biggest thing to rush the passer is that first step.
