needed plays sack year
We were able to get the first sack of the year on (Manning). That was one of the plays we did well, but we needed more of that.
against amazing barry bears couple games granted great guy highlight might others remember saw stands watch
You'd have to say all of them, but Barry Sanders was special. I remember the one highlight film against the Bears -- that's the one that stands out -- and he's had a couple of great games against us. The guy is amazing to watch and to play against. I might have whiffed on him once, but I saw a lot of others whiff on him, too. You can't take any one back for granted because others will make you whiff, too, but he really stands out.
believed came fought hard ourselves plan played prepared
We came out prepared and fought together, we played hard and we just believed in ourselves and our plan and we got it done.
overdoing plate platform reasons respect stepped using whatever
He stepped up to the plate and did what he had to do without overdoing it and using it as a platform for whatever reasons -- PR purposes or whatever. I really respect that.
plays trust
I'm very disappointed in a lot of ways. Because I know we're a lot better than what we showed out there on the field. I think we just have to trust in what we're doing. It's all about consistency. You can't take any plays off in this league.
last leg missed realized record teammates understand
I realized how much I missed it. I want my teammates to understand that as long as I'm able to be out there, even if it's on a leg and a half, I want to be out there. I still feel like we can better our record from last year, so that's our goal.

As players, we all stood back, took one knee and prayed for Thomas.
sit
That's just one game, and to sit here and say we've arrived, I can't say that, because we haven't,
felt knew
As I got older, I knew I had to do something different. (Last year) I felt stronger, more flexible. I felt re-energized.
believe gone good line longevity normal pile side speaks weird
It's always good to see Jerry. But it's normal now. He's been gone for a while. It doesn't feel as weird to see him on the other side of that line now. The years pile up. I can't believe I've been here 12 years, so his longevity speaks for itself.
direction happen headed reasons
There's a lot of reasons to be optimistic. I think we're headed in the right direction. It doesn't happen overnight, but we're going the right way.
game grinding kept line offensive played
I told the offensive line they played really well after the game. They just kept grinding on them.
desire enjoy playing
I still enjoy playing and I still have a desire to play.
best contain good needed plays three toward
You could look at it that way. As good as they are, we did contain them as best we could for three quarters. But we didn't make the plays we needed to toward the end of the game.
