ask guy mirror
Each guy in here has to look in the mirror and ask themselves:
consistent defense everybody guys help plays team
That still irks me, ... But for the most part I think I have been able to be consistent and make plays for this team to help guys out and get everybody in the right place, as well as getting this defense in the right direction.
best guys love matter warriors
That's what I love so much about this team. We have some warriors here. We have some guys who go out there and fight. That's the best thing about this team. No matter what happens, we just keep fighting. You have to love that.
beat giants guys speculate team whatever worry
We have to worry about the Giants right now. I'm going to let you guys speculate about the playoffs. If we beat the Giants, then we'll worry about whatever team comes on after that.
bull catch great guy jets move past running spin stop yards
He's a guy that has every move you need as a running back. He can stop you in your tracks. He can stop and go on a dime. He can spin on you. He can catch the ball. He can run over you. He can bull you for 3 yards and get into the end zone. Then he has the jets to get past you. He has everything you need to be a great back, and that's why he is one.
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.

ball certainly coming gets guy opened
Thornburg is coming up and making some big hits. He's a guy who hustles to the ball and is always around the ball when he gets in the game. He has certainly opened my eyes.
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.
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.
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.
add anybody ask bring brought guys hopefully hugh locker lost replace room year
When you replace a Jeremiah a year ago and try to replace Hugh this year, we would never ask those guys to be those players. We just ask them to bring what they bring to the table, and hopefully it'll add to what we already have. But I would never say anybody could replace what we lost in Hugh. No one person could ever do that for us. Because what he brought wasn't just on the field, but in the locker room also.
