best bit both circumstance count everybody felt guy regardless side sides situation
It still stings a little bit regardless of the circumstances of him not being here. You still would like to have that guy on your side because you can count on him. From all reports, everybody in the organization and on both sides of the situation felt that this was the best thing to do. So they did it and you have to live and keep on playing.
defensive definitely excited game given guys happen hooking knowing love player receiver type waiting
That's something special, to have the type of quarterback that Donovan is and to have the type or receiver that Terrell is. For those guys to keep hooking up game after game, and to go into every game knowing that is potentially a touchdown waiting to happen at any given point, as a defensive player you love that. I'm definitely excited for those guys and the way they've been able to click.
again climb confidence hard mountain people pushed regular season training
That's the hard part that people don't realize. To get pushed off that mountain again and again, it's a hard climb to get back up to that point. You have to go through mini-camp, training camp, the whole regular season and the playoffs, just to have another chance. We've got confidence that we can get it done, but it's rough. It's a hard climb. A very hard climb.
definitely maybe somewhere
It's definitely something I could see changing. Maybe we'll do our bumping somewhere else.
man quiet
Oh, man it was quiet after that game,
striving whatever
It's simple, ... I'm always striving to do more. Whatever I accomplish, it's not enough. I don't get satisfied. That's not my nature.
It's like we're classmates. But like they say, times must, and always do, change. If that's what happens, I go. I'd just like to know something quickly.
blown defensive game happens hard mental plan running start
It's hard to say, ... Some of them are blown assignments. Mental mistakes. When that happens as a defense, we're all beaten. Not just that one person. We have to start running our defensive game plan to perfection. Right now, we're not doing that.
guys surprise
It was as big of a surprise to you guys as it was for us that it went down like that.
came good guys loss time work
They came out and everything they did clicked. Everything we did didn't work. We know in no way that's who we are. The bye came at a time where guys can use it. After a loss like that, it's good to get away.
ball everybody excellent test time
They want to get him the ball as much as possible. He's excellent after the catch, so this is going to be a big time test for everybody inside.
belts best defense guys last played trying year
It really does. All the new guys that have played last year have a year under their belts and I think we are trying to take this thing to another level. We are trying to be one of the best, if not the best defense to play for this organization.
team blessed winning
I'm playing this game because I'm blessed and want to help this team win the Super Bowl, ... At the same time, I want to be considered the best safety that has ever played the game.
mean play age
My age is getting up there, but that doesn't mean my play has to diminish.
