defense element people team tied
I think that every defense has some element of it. Some people have more tied into it as a staple. This would be one team that is tied into it as a staple.
board everybody game playing quite ringing straw team ultimate
I think we're just playing the ultimate team game and so everybody has to be on board. Specifically, the quarterback has to be on board because that's kind of the straw that stirs the drink, if you will. You have to feel that, it has to be ringing through. I didn't quite get it.
backs coach defensive talked team wants
He wants to make this team so bad, he talked to our defensive backs coach about being a defensive back.
ball charge comment great hit john last played remember run team
I remember a great, great comment by (Denver safety) John Lynch after we played them last year. On defense, all you ever try to do is to make the other team one-dimensional, and he said, 'They already were one-dimensional.' You know what? It was a like a charge hit home. And we started to run the ball more.

Quite frankly, I don't think he wanted to be here anymore.

Brad Johnson was asking me for one as well. He got one yesterday. Plenty of time.
coast detroit head learn looking reading splinters though west
Even though he has been part of this West Coast Offense, all of them go different ways. It kind of splinters off, and you head your own direction. So, some of the things that Detroit was doing, we are not doing the same way here. He has to learn the way you are doing it and how you are reading it and how you are looking at it and our verbiage.
billy couple decided extra good gotten job produce
Billy has gotten incrementally better. He's done a good job in practice. He's gotten a couple of good opportunities around the ball. He was in the right place and the quarterback decided to get it to him. So, when you produce for your quarterback, a lot of times, you get that extra look.

Terrell is a very talented player, but if there's one thing I know about football is that it's about the team, the team, the team, the team, the team, the team.
