best defensive expect future hard integral question success worked worried
There's no question that he's the best there is when he's healthy. He was an integral part of our defensive success before the injury, and we expect him to be part of the future as well. He has worked very hard to come back, so we're not worried about him at all.
blocking danny defensive dirty guy offensive true week
Danny does all the dirty work. He's the guy who's out there blocking linebackers and defensive linemen ... Danny is a true fullback in every sense of the word. He's like an offensive lineman in the backfield. He's a guy who has been there for (us) week in and week out. He doesn't say a lot.

They pretty much dominated us, ... Our offense to their defense, they were pretty smothering out there, and we really couldn't get anything going. Their offense and their defensive front pretty much dominated tonight, and you can't deny that.

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.

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.
