play keys defense
If you play angry, you lose what you're supposed to do. On defense we just read our keys and play fast.
football player league
You know what we should do? We should just put flags on everybody. Let's make it the NFFL - the National Flag Football League. It's unbelievable.
jail guy life-is
How great a life is this? To get to knock guys' heads off for 60 minutes and not get thrown in jail?
mom dad heart
My mom is my heart. But my [step]dad was my role model, the hardest working man I ever knew.
example complaining enough
I lead by example. But if I get pissed enough, I'll say something. It usually isn't rah-rah; it's more complaining.
mean thinking people
People don't think I'm big enough to be mean. I don't look big enough, but I am.
ball bunch flew good loose rid tackled turned
Rivera turned us loose today, ... He called a bunch of blitzes -- they worked. We got a bunch of pressure, and when he did get rid of the ball we tackled the guys. We flew around and had a good time.
easier four green played playoff teams
Look at the teams we played when I was not there - Indy, Minnesota, Green Bay, Philadelphia - that's four playoff teams right there. I don't think it's a significant statistic. We just have to play better when I'm not in there or play easier teams.
happened hated looking top turn wish
I wish it would've happened sooner, because I've hated looking up from the bottom. But it's our turn to be on top for a while now.
bright crap feels good guess hurt side team
It feels like crap right now. Disappointing. But I guess you could look at the bright side and say we're a young team and all that good stuff. It's going to hurt for a while.
needed obviously ran work
We never really doubled him. We ran a lot of Cover-2, and obviously that did not work out too well for us. When they needed a play, he made it and we didn't.
ball bouncing great plays unless
That was unbelievable. It was awesome. I've never been a part of something like that. The game's usually over unless you get some great plays like we did, but the ball was bouncing our way that year.
anytime except good matters obviously people players realize realizing
People are realizing we have some good players here. Anytime you lose, nothing really matters except winning. ... People realize that when you win, you obviously have some good players on your team.
bunch deal equal gave hold lost main points yards
I think we know we are No. 1. I don't think yards equal wins. Yards are big, but points are the main thing that matters. We did not play very well and gave up a bunch of yards and I think we lost our No. 1 status, but points are a big deal and I think we hold that.
