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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
backyard everybody felt forget job kicking shy speaking sure talk
I'm sure they will. We'll be in their backyard and they'll forget what I said. Everybody said it. And I'm not going to shy away from speaking my mind. I mean, I felt like I was kicking their (butt) so I just said it. . . . I say that about everybody. If I'm doing my job and doing it well, then I'm going to talk about it.
felt happened knew last ran worried
I knew I was going to be able to go, ... I felt good, I ran good. A no-brainer, I was going out there. I wasn't worried about how long I was going to last or anything. I just happened to have to come out when it got worse.
care start taking wrong
It's sore. But I'm not really worried. I just want to know what's wrong so I can start taking care of it.
heart shows strange
Nothing strange about this, ... This shows the heart of a champion. This is what we expected.
felt kicking shy speaking
I'm not going to shy away from speaking my mind, ... I felt like I was kicking (expletive). So, I just said it.
job talk
I'm doing my job, doing it well. I'm going to keep doing it, and I'm going to talk about it.
