You know I can't tell you that. It's a lot of things (the Packers) have a tendency to do. Stuff that you can really notice from watching film but also little things that I've seen. Whether it's players, whether it's schemes, just little stuff. Hopefully we can use it to help us out.
It should because they won in a tough place to play historically. That should give us the confidence that we can go in and win on any opposing team's field. It's just knowing that you can do it and believing in what you do.

The new coaches will be the main thing. We've had some turnover on the roster, but we still have the main core of guys left on the team. It's something that the guys are looking forward to, working with and getting to know their coaches.
I'm going to call all those guys and hopefully give them some encouragement.
I never believed people saying he wasn't a pocket passer. I saw first-hand from the sideline that year when he came up to Green Bay and basically sat in the pocket and picked us apart.
Not at all, ... Everyone gave their opinion on what they thought, and all of those opinions agreed with me.
(Slowik) was a real good tactical, break-down-the-offense type of coach. We knew what to expect for games. He also was a good motivational coach. Overall, I feel he was a good coordinator for us. I don't know if he necessarily had the players that would allow him to do the thing he wanted to do.
It will be like playing ones vs. ones in training camp. The only thing is if I get to blitz I finally get to hit him. He won't be wearing that red jersey.
It was just a relief to finally win a game.
That's something we have to improve on. We've got to tighten our coverage up. But we also have to improve at getting to the quarterback.
We just kept fighting, and that shows the strong character and chemistry that this team has, ... We had the attitude of, 'It's us against the world.'
We have to figure out how to blow teams out when we have them on the ropes.
We were distraught. But we have never gotten down on ourselves as a team.
