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.
defense good plays start stepping stop thinking
We have to stop thinking we're a good defense and start stepping up and do it. Two plays killed us. No excuses.
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.
best defense extra year
We've had an extra year in the system. I don't see why we can't be the best defense in the league.
defense flew fun good
Today, our defense flew around and had a good time. It was fun out there.
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.
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.
team winning play
All I can do is go out there and play hard and try and help my team win, and that's what I'm going to keep doing.
play work-out plans
Steve Smith, thats what happened to us. He just kept making plays. We had a plan. We never really doubled him. We ran a lot of Cover 2, and obviously that didnt work out too good for us.
media two people
Two of the people I don't care about: fans or media,
running mistake team
But I hate the way our identity has changed. We used to establish the run and wear teams down and try not to make mistakes, and we’d rely on our defense to keep us in the game and make big plays to put us in position to win. Kyle Orton might not be the flashiest quarterback, but the guy is a winner, and that formula worked for us. I hate to say it, but that’s the truth.
football player want
I want to be remembered as a championship football player.
fun having-fun littles
You've got to be a little nasty out there. But most of the time, I'm having fun.
