couple curl dig feels hand honest respect route routes runs speed throws time worries
You respect what he does and his speed and you have to play honest because of his speed, but there is nothing that really worries me. He runs the same routes. It's a go route and he throws his hand up if he feels he has you beat, which most of the time he feels he has you beat. They run a couple of dig routes and curl routes to keep you honest. It's the same thing.
defense everybody good guys job offense
You want the opposing offense to look at your defense and see everybody going to the ball. I thought we did a pretty good job of that today. We had guys making plays, and that's what you want from your defense.
couple number team time turn
You say a team has somebody's number. Well, I think they've had our number for a couple of years. They really have. It's time to turn that around. Big time.
filter given happened opinions saw starts
You saw what happened this year. It can happen. It starts to filter through. Different opinions are given out, and things happen that shouldn't happen.
breath definitely fans game hold hopefully past point
You're definitely going to have fans who hold their breath if we get to that point again, ... Because we've been in the NFC Championship Game two years in a row. Hopefully we can get past it this time.
enjoy minute point questions talking
Questions are questions. I made it a point that I'm going to enjoy every minute of this thing ... even talking to you guys.
box continue randy run safety sit top
If they are able to run the ball, we can't continue to do what we did with me kind of going to Randy and being over the top some of the time. You can't continue to do that. You have to be able to put a safety in the box to help. But because they were able to do what they did up front, we can just sit back there.
imagine push sure takes whatever
Mentally, I just can't imagine what he's going through right now. But he's tough. He's going to push through this. I'm sure he'll do whatever it takes to get back.
feet stations
One of our stations went 11 feet under. The other went 4 feet under.
happens hard intent moss possession ran route run top waiting
Moss is spectacular, we all know that. But with me waiting over the top for him most of the afternoon, you could see the frustration in his eyes, in the way he ran his routes. That's not something that happens with T.O. Every route run is hard and crisp. Every possession has an intent to it.
bring care goes players
I don't care who we bring in here or what players we have, everything goes through him,
ball field hold matter mind
But that shouldn't matter to us. If they get the ball on the 30-yard line, our mind-set is we should still hold them to a field goal.
knows
Only Terrell knows what he is going to do.
attention attributes brings featured guy last pay physical plays porter randy saw though top year
Last year you saw Porter do his thing a little bit. He was the featured guy and he made some big plays for them . . . Though you have to pay attention to Randy because of all the physical attributes he brings to the game, you still have to pay attention to Porter, because the guy can still go up top on you. He is a big guy (6-2, 220) that can run.
