amazing bonus created guy guys huge picks points taken three tons tough
That's why we're 2-0 right now. It's created tons of points and taken points away from teams. We need to keep doing that. It's going to be tough for us because we've got some amazing numbers. We've got one guy with three picks and three guys with a pick in one game, that's a huge bonus for us offensively and defensively.
arrived guys locker room seems top
It seems like we're on top of the world right now. But I don't think guys in this locker room really feel like that. I think they feel we haven't arrived yet.
disaster guys improve move slow step taken test tried
It's one of those things you can't go into full-bore, ... You need to see what you're comfortable with and test it and move on from there step by step. It can be a disaster if you don't do it right. If you try to do too much, guys are confused. We've taken it really slow and tried to improve on it.
bad dreaded everybody excitement guys hearing knew past realize stories talks
I don't know how bad it was and how bad it can get, but just from hearing stories from guys and hearing the excitement that guys have about this season, that was never there before. In the past guys just dreaded being here because they knew they were going to lose. Hearing that makes you realize this place has changed. Everybody talks about the change, but it's for real.
broke guys hand heat hurt jealous last lucky people position rather run sideline standing wish
I take a lot of heat because guys say, 'You're lucky you don't have to run today,' but when you're in the position I'm in and you're hurt that's when you want to be running. I wish I could be out there running. It's like that for everyone in the season. When (tight end) Reggie (Kelly) broke his hand last year, he was standing on the sideline and some people were jealous of him, but there's nothing more he'd rather been doing than practicing.
definitely drastic expecting good guys half home improve last lose minds offense proud realize record step steps year
We realize our offense got a lot of guys back, and we've done a lot of things to improve our defense, ... We were 8-8 last year. We need to step up from there. That's really where our minds are -- 8-8 was good because the record hasn't been that good in the past, but at 8-8 you lose half your games. That's nothing to write home about, nothing to be proud of. We're definitely expecting to take drastic steps from last year into this year.
eerie feeling felt
It was just a weird, eerie feeling in the stadium. It was something I've never felt before.
ended sure
I'm not sure how many catches T.J. ended up having, but he ended up being the go-to guy.
asked
It's coming, and I keep getting asked the question,
ask best compete guy receiver tough wants
They compete over who's going to have a better game. You can't ask for more than that as a quarterback. You've got one guy who wants to play better than the best receiver in the league. That's a tough combination to defend.
against blowing giving great job move open phenomenal plenty pocket room step throws
They did a phenomenal job of blowing open the pocket and giving me plenty of room to step into throws and move around. Now they know it's on them again. They're going against a great D line.
everybody work
We just wanted to come out and be crisp, ... We wanted to get our work in, get in and get out and keep everybody healthy.
bright gold notice teeth
What? That wasn't Chad? Man, I should have something when I didn't notice any gold teeth gleaming back at me. But, on the bright side, the more Johnsons, the better.
