game goes guys leader step
We still were in the game. When your leader goes out like that, your other guys have to step up and try to make something happen.
bite games goal win
Our goal is to win the division. Each of these games are must-win games, and they are because they are divisional games, and they come back to bite you at the end of the season,
bowl brought coming either error fix game judgment knowing player plays super team weighed worry
When it comes to a game as big as a Super Bowl and plays can go either way, you never want to have that happen. But that's something that you have to live with, as a player or a coach, knowing that it is going to be weighed on a person's judgment. That's why they brought in replay, to try to take away some of the error in judgment by the referees. But you can't go back and fix everything. You really want to make more plays than the other team so you don't have to worry about the referees coming into play.
credit defensive game matter mess nfl style toughest
The toughest thing about being a defensive back in the NFL is you do your job, you don't get credit, but if you mess up one time, you can be the goat. I always try to play the same style of game no matter who I'm going up against.
brown games mike team won
That team was very fluky. They had two games they won on Mike Brown interceptions for touchdowns. This team has won consistently. I think this team they have right here is better.

continue drop feeling game grinding teams though week
Just not panicking, just feeling as though you can continue to play each game week by week and really keep grinding it out. You never know, because the season's so long. Teams are going to drop games, so you never really know how you're going to be in position.
answer anybody bit case credit ended field finally future games hurt last playing point themselves
I can't answer that. There were times when to his credit he wanted to play and I wouldn't play him because of the injury. And then (it) finally got to the point where we ended up playing him. But we never put anybody on the field with the idea that they could hurt themselves in future games or years and that wasn't the case last year. But to his credit, he was chomping at the bit to play and we ended up playing him.

We're going to check our mail, hopefully we don't get anything, because if we do, it's not going to be good,
bumps chance couple extremely positive row switch thinking
We have had a couple of bumps in a row right now, but I'm still thinking extremely positive about what we can do as a team. There's always a chance we can switch things around.
bay both green hoped might teams
I still might have hoped that Green Bay was 1-4 and we might have been 4-1, but that's not the case. Both teams are scrounging for a victory.

It doesn't mean that I have any ill will or any animosity toward Green Bay, because they allowed me to become the player that I am today and to have the career that I've had thus far.
