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.
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.
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.
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.
extra game road tougher win
We made it tougher on ourselves. Now we have to go on the road and try to win an extra game on the road because of that.
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.

The good thing is you're playing in a bad division. The bad thing is you are in the worst division in the NFL and you're at the bottom of that division. But you still have 11 games to go. There's still a chance to do some good things.

We have to figure out how to blow teams out when we have them on the ropes.
came nice personal records
It would be nice. I think if it came in a better season, it would be a little more enjoyable, but it would still be a nice personal accomplishment. Records are made to be broken, so we'll see.

It was tough for me to hold back some emotion when I saw it on the bottom of the screen. I talked to him, and he says he's going to come back stronger. That's the type of attitude that he has.

I've been shocked from the get-go with this team,
