depends hit hurting hurts realized somebody time
I always thought that if I didn't feel it, the other person was hurting more. But I've realized over time that if I hit somebody and it hurts me, it hurts them even more. It depends on the way I feel.
good matters played playing team
We know it'll be a good team, a team we've played before. I don't think it really matters who we play. It's all about us playing Colts ball.
physical played teams
I think we did make a statement, because we played one of the most physical teams in the league.
football hitting monday night people physical playing stage team
I think that sparked something for us. We had been doing it all year, hitting hard, playing tough, playing physical, but I think being on that big Monday Night Football stage and playing a physical team like the Steelers made people notice.
gave helps last pressure problems stopping year
He's getting a lot of pressure in the backfield, stopping a lot of runs. That helps so much. One of our big problems last year was we gave up too many big runs.
correct defense hate line messed
We hate to give up any touchdown. We messed up. We were not in the correct defense and we didn't line up the right way.
act agreement college explained meetings notice open parts people settle
You'll notice that the college people weren't there, and that's because there is no agreement, and it's because these parts of the Open Meetings Act that I just explained to you have not happened, and that's the only way the college can settle a lawsuit.
game keys plan sure throw
I think so. What do you have to lose? I think they're going to throw everything at us. We'll have enough game plan to know that we just make sure we read our keys and do what we have to do to win.
defense everybody good last rush
I think everybody has the same attitude. It's like we have something to prove. Last year, our rush defense was not as good as we wanted. This year, we've got Corey.
almost arm crazy great hard lower runs size stop sure
He's a big back who runs hard and he has great feet. You just have to make sure you get lower than he does and run through him, don't stop your feet. You don't want to try to arm-tackle him, because he runs through arm tackles like they're nothing. It's almost not fair, him having that size and those feet. It's a crazy thing.
holes last open
The holes weren't as open as they were last year. Last year, there were gaping holes in there.
across entire roof
The entire roof was all the way across the street.
given hits people
All of those really big hits I remember. I put one on him. I've given people a lot of those.
