coach core correct guys obviously run
Things are a little different ... The way the organization is run is a lot different, but who's to say the correct way to run it? It's stable. There's not a lot of in and out. You know who the coach is. You know who the core guys are. I thought I was one of the core guys there, but obviously I got out of there.
finally fortunate run throw year
We finally got a quarterback that didn't throw it away. We got to him. That's what we've been doing all year but we just had quarterbacks that just run out of there and throw it away. We hadn't been fortunate enough to get those sacks, but we got them today.
people running stop understand
One thing people don't understand is we play different positions. I can't do what he does, and he can't do what I do. That's kind of irrelevant. Who cares? All I know is that we've got to stop the run, and he's their running back.
attacking blocking corner cover definitely feed game involved line pass running side supposed
One thing you know is that when you cover him, you're going to have to make a lot of tackles. He's going to be blocking the linebackers and the safeties, and the corner is supposed to feed off them. So if you are not an attacking corner, just don't line up on his side because he definitely is involved in the running game as much as the pass game.
both looking plays run teams
I think both teams can do other things and make plays doing something else. But when you get down to it, both offenses want to run it. And when they run it, they're not looking for just first downs, they're looking to take charge.
close push running shooting sure trying
(I was) just running around, not trying to push it too much, ... Just wanted to make sure I get through the day healthy. That's what I'm shooting for right now. I feel close to where I want to be. Not there yet, but close to where I want to be.
knocked running visualize
I always visualize myself making big plays, but I didn't visualize getting knocked out at the 1 after running 100 yards.
ball loved running staying
I loved staying under the heat. When it's cold, I love to see them running the ball and controlling the clock.
confuse hard
We try to confuse you as much as we can. I think it's hard for a quarterback.
concerned great help missed players shows sitting team
(The streak) is important and it shows accountability but at the same time, I'm not really concerned with it. There's a lot of great players that have missed a lot of games, so I'm not concerned with that. It's just (that) I want to be out there to help my team win, and I know I can't do anything sitting on the sidelines.
overcome time year
I've never had a year like this, ... This is the first time I've had to overcome this many at one time.
aware football help risks
They always give you the things that could happen, the risks you take. At the same time, I'm aware of that and I don't really care. I just want to play football and help us win.
fall felt fine leg
The way it felt then, I thought my leg was going to fall apart, ... I'm fine now.
guarantee looking sure wrong
And you look at what you did wrong because I guarantee you they're going to know everything we did wrong. The opportunities they missed. . . . I'm sure they're looking at that.
