benefit case dealt fatigue great knows rectify year
I don't think it's a case where he has to rectify any one area. It's just recognition and being patient. I think that's the thing. He probably dealt with fatigue as the year went on, but I think now he knows what to expect. He went through it once and I think that will be great benefit to him.
casey defense game good great guy middle rock sideline solid teams uses
Casey has been so solid for us. He's kind of the rock in the middle of that defense and he's a guy that uses up two blockers. He's got great balance, he can still go sideline to sideline and has a good feel for the game and understands what teams are doing to him.
aware case composure trying
It's experience. He's been there. It's case of not trying to do too much and take too much on his shoulders. The thing is his composure -- he's aware of what's going on and being a leader.
case practiced somebody
It's case by case. Obviously, if you have somebody who hasn't practiced all week, you have to take that into account. We are just going to look at all the circumstances and go from there.
aware case composure hitting job leader nice pocket stepping trying waiting
He's been there. It's not a case of having to do too much and trying to put too much on your shoulders. He did a nice job of stepping out of the pocket and hitting check-downs. That's the thing that I liked, his composure and his poise. You could just see he was aware of what was going on around him, waiting things out. He's just being the leader that he is.
continue desperate giving people seven somewhat team weeks
We've been somewhat of a desperate team for a long time. I think we need to continue to play that way. Like I said before, we are still the same team that, seven weeks ago, not a lot of people were giving us a chance.

We just tried to limit Ben's access this week. You'll all have plenty of chances to talk to him.

We were put in that situation when we lost those three games. We have to come back and win at home against Detroit and go on the road wherever we need to go.

We mixed it up, you have to. We did a good job, dropping eight or mixing pressure to try to disrupt him, get him out of his rhythm.
bringing disrupt dropping eight fortunate fourth good hit job mixed plays pressure trying
We mixed it up and did a good job of dropping eight and bringing pressure and trying to disrupt them and get them out of their rhythm. They hit some big plays there in the fourth quarter, and we were fortunate to get out of there with the win.
best football guy league missed national position recognized won
We missed him. Yeah, we won some games, but this guy is one of the best at his position in the National Football League and is recognized as such.
allowed change mindset pure
We went back to the pure basics, with the mindset that has allowed us to get to this point. We can't change that now.
coming grind knew turned walking
We had the opportunity, even in overtime. It's very frustrating at this point, walking away with a defeat. We knew coming in that it was going to be a grind and it turned out that way.
certainly challenge last played time
We certainly have to play better than the last time we played them. It's going to be a challenge for us.
