(Williams has) added punch to their offense. He's a guy who can tag-team with Ronnie Brown and become a formidable running back duo, so we have to be prepared for that.

I'm very excited about it, ... I've watched this defense ever since I got into the league in 2000. They strive to be great players. Great players want to play on great defenses.

It's weird, man. I felt like a wrestler.
defence head runs
Take the head off the chicken, and it runs around. The defence has been doing that way before I got here. It's just a staple. You say, 'Tampa,' and you think of defence.

They decided to go another way. It gave me another opportunity to open another door and come down to Tampa. It kind of worked in my favor.
break defense defensive matter playing relates safety scheme support
They break down everything, ... They go over the nuances, little things: Why are we playing this defense in the big scheme of things, not just as it relates to defensive linemen? Where does the safety fit? Why are we playing it on first down? Why are we going to this coverage? Where is your support on a double-team? So we know what to do no matter what happens.

What happened here, it's fine. They moved on, they made decisions that benefited the organization. I moved down here to play with one of the top five defenses.

What happened here (in Minnesota), it's fine. They moved on, they made decisions that benefited the organization. I respect what they did and what they are going to do. I am just going to win down in Tampa now.

You got to zone everything out and go out and do your assignment.
good win
There's one scenario, you win and you're in. You don't look at all the others. You win, you're in. That's a pretty good scenario.
