flying plays
We're flying to the ball. We're making plays when we have to.
good tradition
We know about the tradition here and all that good stuff. We've just got to make plays. That's what it comes down to. We know there's a lot of good defenses here in the past, and we feel like we're one of those teams.
defense flew fun good
Today, our defense flew around and had a good time. It was fun out there.
found game lose time
We were in the game the whole time and found a way to lose in the end.
best game overlooked three
We're not the Giants. If they overlooked us, didn't play their best game, whatever. We didn't play our best game either. They scored three points, so we didn't play our best game. They scored on us; they shouldn't have.
ball pressure throw
We did what we said we were going to do, ... We got in his (Harrington's) face, and we got some pressure on him and got him to throw the ball sometimes when he didn't want to. And we got some takeaways -- what we've got to do every week.
ball guys
We play hard, we take the ball away and the No. 1 thing is we get to the quarterback and we get to the ball. When the ball is on the ground, we usually have a lot of guys around it.
chance defense order ourselves win
We didn't tackle. We didn't get in our gaps. Our defense is predicated on getting in our gaps. In order to give ourselves a chance to win games, we can't do that.
thrive
We didn't have any three-and-outs, a lot of takeaways, a lot of sacks. That's what we thrive on.
equal main points yards
We know we are No. 1. Yards don't equal wins. Yards are big, but points are the main thing that matters.
stuff
There's a lot of stuff we need to correct.
doubt mind personnel
There was no doubt in anyone's mind we had the personnel to do it.
blessing emotional guys himself injure leaders-and-leadership tough
This is tough for our team, too, because he was one of our leaders. One of the emotional guys out there on the field. He's just an unbelievable guy. At least he didn't injure himself bad. I know that's a blessing for him.
backseat definitely few hoping stayed three together
A few years ago I was definitely hoping the three of us could have stayed together for a long time. But we've got a new thing going here, and Lance doesn't have to take a backseat to anybody.
