beating high home riding
It was very disappointing. We were riding a high after beating the Colts in their home place.
grew lifelong
I grew up here. I'm a lifelong Chargers fan.
ten worry
I don't even worry about that anymore. .Ê.Ê. Ten years it hasn't happened.
cut guys ruthless
Obviously, you don't want to get hurt. But guys still cut (block) and everything. It's ruthless out there.
against bottom good lick line mean playing win
I always want to get a good lick on the quarterback, but it really doesn't mean anything to us right now that we're playing against Eli. The bottom line is that we need to get in the win column.
last played year
Last year, we played well in the first year in the system,
hitting takes whatever
I'm all about whatever it takes for us to win. If that's hitting Eli Manning in the mouth, then we'll hit him in the mouth.
obviously opportunity understand
Obviously it was very disappointing and frustrating. We understand the opportunity that we had to get (in the playoffs). There's nothing we can do now but go out and try to go 10-6.
lying winning years
It's not an issue. Everyone's focused on us trying to get a victory. That's where the focus lies. ... We're trying to win a game. Who cares about that (other stuff). If we'd played 'em two years ago when it happened, maybe it would be different.
few game high last pressure weeks
There was a lot of pressure over the last few weeks because every game was so high and so intense. It was one of those years I guess.
expected last win
All of us expected to win last week,
great together win work year
They have a lot of great players, but they work together as a team. That's why they've been able to win this year and get things done.
came huge man military supporter treat
I told him when he came back that I was going to treat them to a game, and I'm a man of my word. I'm a huge supporter of the military and all they do.
nice pass scheme understanding
It's nice to come back and have an understanding of what we're doing. The new scheme really shored up our defense. But we still need to get better on pass defense.
