good ourselves pressure protect stop
The No. 1 thing is you have to be able to protect the quarterback, ... If we put pressure on him and stop the run, we'll put ourselves in some good situations.
call chance given good great healthy nice opportunity ourselves playoff problem rest sweep time
It's a good problem to have, if you call it a problem. And it is not a problem. Any time you have a chance to get an off week, it's a good thing. We have given ourselves a good opportunity to rest some guys. It would be nice to sweep our division. It would be great to get 12 wins, but so would having everyone healthy for a playoff game.
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.
happens
I see things as they happen pretty quick, and I just go hit it.
thinking people want
You want to be the best at your position. And if people think of me as one of the best ever, that's the ultimate compliment.
football thinking play
I like to think of myself as a regular guy, except I play football for a living. I try not to be an arrogant turd out there.
