bring care goes players
I don't care who we bring in here or what players we have, everything goes through him,
defensive expect explosive pressure quick stance telling wing
I mean, he can get up out of a defensive end's stance quick and get pressure off the wing and that's what we expect out of him, ... I'm telling you, he's very explosive off the ball.
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.
good nasty positive practice taste towards week
It was just good to get back out there to practice your craft, to get that nasty taste out of your mouth. To get going towards another week of positive thinking.
man quiet
Oh, man it was quiet after that game,
definitely maybe somewhere
It's definitely something I could see changing. Maybe we'll do our bumping somewhere else.
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.
cant facing maybe mind mix past run tried
We tried to mix it up as much as possible, ... When hes facing that kind of coverage, maybe he doesnt go out and run like he usually would run. In his mind hes thinking, I cant get past the safety.
ready
We were ready to go from the jump,
facing maybe mixed run takes weapon
We mixed it up. When you're facing that kind of coverage, maybe (Moss) doesn't go out and run like he usually would run. In his mind, he's thinking, well, I can't get past. It takes a weapon away from that offense.
ask guy mirror
Each guy in here has to look in the mirror and ask themselves:
accept cause drive lose mistake playoffs pressure rise starts team
There's pressure that starts to rise in the playoffs because you know you can make a mistake that will cause your team to lose the game. You have to have that pressure drive you and accept that pressure.
ahead focused game hand hard last light lost pushing super trying year
We were focused on what was at hand ... this season, this game here. It's kind of hard to look ahead sometimes and try to see the light, but that was the light. The light was we lost last year in the Super Bowl, and we're trying to get back there. ... We're all pushing for that same goal.
