ball created direction ground seems zone
We think it's possible. We get a lot of takeaways. The ball seems like it's bounced in our direction right now. We've got to get those balls. We haven't created a lot of fumbles so far. We've got to get the ball on the ground and try to get in the end zone that way.
ball chance nice rolling
It would be nice to give us a chance to get the ball rolling and get a little confidence.
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.
ball chance defense score stopping turn
Takeaways, stopping the run, and as long as we don't turn the ball over, I think we'll be OK. If we don't give them a chance to score with their defense on the field, we'll be OK.
ball eight face guys moss randy run trying
It's a little different trying to run the ball with eight guys in the box. The Vikings haven't had to face that because of the Randy Moss factor.
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.
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.
ball beat ended learned playoff remember run stop time turned win
I don't want to go through that again. We got beat up in that game. We couldn't stop the run, we couldn't run the ball, and we turned the ball over. I don't want to remember that game, it ended so badly. We weren't the same for a long time after that. We learned that we've got to play a lot better to win playoff games.
gotten looks mean prove talk team until
Things have gotten better on defence. It looks like our whole team has gotten better. We just have to go out there and do it on Sundays. We can talk all we want, but until we go out there and prove it, it doesn't mean anything.
downs plays third
Our third downs were terrible. We have to make more plays on third down. We have to get better.
game goal healthy number people super teammates though win
Even though you're not in the game, you still like to win and see your teammates do well, so it was a little frustrating. But at the same time, we got out of this game healthy with the people we need to get to the Super Bowl, and that's the number one goal we wanted to take into the playoffs.
We don't give up a lot of yards, just too many big plays.
doubted earn good great people playoffs respect win
We had to win in the playoffs to earn respect and we didn't do that. So all of the people who doubted us, I guess, were right. We may be a good team, but we're not a great team.
