certainly complete consistent defense explosive football outside player plays productive
He's very important, not just to our defense but to our football team. He's certainly a very explosive player defensively. He can cover. He can rush. He plays the run. He's a complete outside linebacker. He's been very productive on a consistent basis.
large pick
If there's one and there's a large discrepancy, I'll just pick one guy, ... If it's close, I'll pick two.
football guy hand hard satisfying trophy
If you look at our ownership, Mr. Rooney is a football guy and he understands how hard it is to do this. Nothing would be more satisfying to me than to hand him the Vince Lombardi trophy in two weeks.
came coming good last tennessee tough whipped year
If you look at us two years ago, we were 6-10 and probably a lot like Tennessee, where the year before we were in the playoffs. Tennessee is coming off a tough year last year. As I told the team, two years ago they were 12-4 and came up here and whipped our tails pretty good in this stadium.
days game late lost remember
If you go in as late as we're going in, I don't think it will have as big effect. When we had to go in two days before, as we did in Albuquerque, we lost the game -- the fumble, if you remember the fumble drive.
beat biggest concern continue himself pressure timing trying
He's still a young quarterback, ... He's going to continue to grow. He's probably going to have setbacks. That's part of the process. We're trying to get the timing down. But my biggest concern with him is that he doesn't put the pressure on himself, doesn't beat himself up too much.
emotional football leader
He's the emotional leader for our football team.
hopefully improve last week
Hopefully we'll improve from last week to this game. It's a big challenge, but I'd like to think we can play better.
balance recent running seen
He's running as well as I've seen him run in recent years. His balance is phenomenal.
ball beginning hit north opinion returning starting
He's returning the ball better now in my opinion than he was at the beginning of the season. He's starting to hit some things north and south. And as a receiver, he's very solid.
guy last physically
He's rested, physically and mentally. He was a worn-out guy last year.
high level played
He's really played at a high level all year.
good inside proven running
He's proven to be a pretty good running back, inside or outside.
dealing good last plan time
I don't know if we had a better plan (in dealing with the noise), I just don't think we had a very good plan the last time we were here.
