against area given goal line people red stopped
They haven't given up many long drives. They're not in the red area very much. They're not at the goal line very much. They usually get them stopped before people get down there against them. They don't give up many points. They're good.
against anybody best last match pittsburgh played promises stop type year
We're going to do what we think is best. What we did against Oakland may or may not be what we think is best against Carolina. Last year we played Indianapolis in one type of a defense. We played Pittsburgh in another type of a defense. We played Philadelphia in another type of a defense. We're going to do what we think we need to do to try to match up and stop the opponents. I'm not making any promises to anything or anybody about what we're going to do.
against game matter passing running stop team throw whether
If you don't stop the running game, it doesn't matter whether you can stop the passing game or not. They don't ever have to throw it if they don't want to. To me, against a team like Atlanta, if you can't stop them from running, it doesn't really matter what else happens.
careful good guy raiders ready stop team teams trying
It comes back to team defense. I think you have to be careful about trying to stop one guy in this league. There are not too many teams that you play that have only have one player. The Raiders are a team that has, when they're on offense, 11 good ones and you better be ready to stop all of them. Not just one guy.

area ball based best build came couple field held played position positives red score stops sudden turned year
Really, that's the best we've played in the red area all year long. We made a couple of stops after a sudden change, after we turned the ball over offensively. We came in there and didn't let them score a touchdown. We held them, based on the field position that we had, so, I mean, there were some positives to build on.
both exterior field five good inside interior nearly positions problem seven six spots stop stretch trying
He can get down there and stretch the inside of the field. It's always good to be able to stretch the field vertically at both your exterior positions and in your interior spots because, as a defense, if you only have one thing to stop, it's not nearly as big of a problem as when you're trying to stop five or six or seven things.
concerned everybody plenty sure teams
I'm sure the other 31 teams have things that they're concerned with today, one way or another. We have plenty to do right here. I'm not really that concerned about what everybody else is doing.
against bay best bit decisions evaluation final friday game giants green players quite sure win
I'm sure that we'll look at some of the players that didn't play as much in the Green Bay game (last Friday night's 27-3 win at Lambeau Field) a little bit more against the Giants and try to get the best evaluation that we can as we make our final decisions at the end of the week. I'm sure that the players who didn't play as much against Green Bay will play more than the ones who did play quite a bit against Green Bay. Let's put it that way.
bay bit green players sure younger
I'm sure our younger players will play a bit more than they did in the Green Bay game,
anybody beats somebody until
I mean, they're 7-0, ... They're undefeated. Until somebody beats them, I don't see how you can say anybody is any better than them.
credit early knew players turned
I knew we could play better than we did early in the season. It's a credit to the players that they've turned things around.
group history league means none patriot previous respectful teams terms
I'm respectful of what this group has accomplished, what the previous Patriot teams have done and what this means in terms of league history and all that. But none of that really means anything in what we do from here on.
guard hold offensive sees snap somehow tackle whether
It's somehow on the ball. Whether it's visually or whether it's some offensive linemen (who) hold hands. The guard and the tackle hold hands, so when the guard sees the snap he flinches or squeezes or whatever,
