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.
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.
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.
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.
gaps happened miss quite
We've just got to be more disciplined. If we get out of our gaps and miss tackles, we're going to get gashed. That happened quite a bit.
flying running
We kind of got after him a little bit. We were flying to the ball, running our gaps.
approach chance good remember special
I don't remember much from that season, it's so long ago. We know we have a good chance to do something special here and that's the way we're going to approach it.
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.
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.
coming ended guys last next
We were young last time, too, and we ended up being 4-12 the next year. I'd like to think we'll be better next year. We have a lot of guys coming back. ... We're optimistic, but I'm not going to look at that right now.
ended remember season
I don't even remember that season because it ended badly.
maybe week
Maybe we shouldn't get a bye week anymore.
