They hit him too many times, ... and that's a credit to those guys over on the other side of the line of scrimmage wearing that lightning bolt on their helmet. We just have to get better.

accept best football frame game good guys liked picked send team
They couldn't have picked a better team to send down there and play well ? that's the way we're approaching it. We'll go down there and play our best football game of the year. The guys are in a good frame of mind. They accept it. We would have liked it to be a different way, but we have no choice.
days degrees few four guys oh severe three until year
Oh yeah, sure. There are degrees of sprains and we've had three or four of them this year already and guys come back and play. But you don't know until you get a few days away as to how severe it is.
chance great guys intensity played
It's a very big win. These guys played like they had a chance for the playoffs. They played with great intensity and pride.
fight guys motivate people performance position presence stronger ways within
We've still got a ways to go. Obviously, (the new players) have made a contribution. Sometimes they make a contribution with their presence as well as their performance because they motivate other guys and they make other people fight a little stronger for their position within the roster.
cannot five football guy guys knows six throw
He didn't throw a punch. He's the most intelligent guy on this football team, ... He knows what he can and cannot do. He did not throw a punch. Five or six other guys did, though.
four guys improved last run three tough
I thought it would be tough to run on these guys like we have because they've improved their down four (linemen). They had more than just three different guys than they had last year.
bring guys injuries line retired stop street tremendous tribute week
You just stop and think about the injuries he's had, and to line up each week with guys off the street and to bring back a quarterback that's retired ... it's a tremendous tribute to Herman and his staff.

You can't ask guys to play harder than they did today.

I know this -- none of our players said Champ Bailey didn't play hard when we beat them by three touchdowns last year out here.

It's something he's had before. I'm sure he'll be out a few days.
early games lost pay start stuff takes win winning
It's so early in the season. They're going to win some games like they lost tonight, and once they start winning those, they'll probably win some more. All the stuff they've done will pay off for them; sometimes it just takes a little time.
build cut cutting everybody few good job line offense offensive problem reaching running scheme shove underneath zone
The big problem with them is their offensive line and their zone scheme. They do an awfully good job with it. Everybody has a few zone scheme running plays. We do. But they build their offense on that. They get you stretched, reaching out, and then they shove you out and cut right back underneath you. They do a good job of cutting the linebackers off.
