arena bring came fill goals
That was one of my goals, to fill up the arena and bring it back to the Ernie and Bernie days. That's why I came to Tennessee.
cause game tempo
We try to get the tempo going with our press. It isn't just to cause turnovers. We want to get the game going up and down... try to get them running.
anybody teams wearing
We've been wearing teams out. That's a big part of our system. You can't out-work anybody if you're not in shape.
far hard plays
He's going to play hard and compete, and that's all I want. How it all plays out as far as tackles and pressures, I don't know. But I know if he's on the field, he's going to give me everything he's got.
cover guys hanging open tough
J.J. makes a lot of open 3's and off of picks. C-Lo just discourages defenses because guys will be hanging all over him, and he's still going to make it. He's a tough cover for anybody.
dominate game knew separate
We knew this was a big game and that's why we wanted to dominate underneath. I think we just wanted to separate ourselves.
teams worked
We've done it more than most teams I've worked with.
ask bit coming confidence defense good guy hearing hurt injury knows team year
When I first got here, he was coming off the injury and being hurt every year and hearing all the things about himself, so yeah, his confidence was a little bit down. But it's back up there, and he knows he's having a good year. I think if you ask any team we've played, he's the first guy on our defense that they would mention.
breaks bunch guy misses paid people
People wanted to see him play. They paid him a bunch of money. But he's not a guy who misses because he's got a hamstring that's always hurting. When he's out, it's because he breaks something.
But you know it's coming. And when he's on, it's something to see.
composure corner guys handle hopefully linger ready spot turned younger
Hopefully our younger guys have turned the corner and will be able to handle this. It's only one week. We've got to keep our composure and let it go. You let this one linger too long and then we're not ready for Dallas. Then we're right back to the same old spot we've been in. We're better, but we've got to keep improving. We're not there yet.
defensive feels game happening laughing
Gerard's smiling, laughing and really into what's happening here in the defensive game plan. He feels like it's all for one and one for all, and I can see that.
coach confidence hopefully wants
Coach put the confidence back in me and told me what he wanted me to do. When Coach wants you to go make plays, it makes it a lot better for you. I've got a lot more I'm not giving, so hopefully I can get it all out.
across best bowl came coach defensive dependable guys line looked orleans pick players remember saints senior turned
I remember being at the Senior Bowl when it came across that the Saints didn't pick up Glover's option. I went up to the New Orleans defensive line coach and said, 'Man, you guys just turned Glover loose.' He looked stunned. He was one of their best players and most dependable guys.
