build ecstatic last momentum player scratched surface team year
I'm ecstatic to be here another year and to build on the momentum of last year, ... I think I just scratched the surface as a player and the team is just scratching the surface.
came funny great kept momentum others played prepare situations teams three
It's interesting that three teams have (off weeks) to prepare for us now, but byes can be funny things. I've been in situations where we came off one and played terrible. I've also been in others where we came off one and just kept rolling. We have great momentum now. We just want to keep it going.
bit game obviously passing player quite rely running somebody special
What can you say about L.T. that hasn't already been said other than he's obviously a special player and somebody we rely on quite a bit in everything we do, in the running game, the passing game and just as an offense,
achieve beginning believed broken game goals hopes order path playoff streak talking team win
We believed we were going to go there and win, keep our playoff hopes alive. Of course, everybody's talking about the streak being broken and everything else. But really, for us, that was just another team in our path and another game we had to win in order to go on and achieve the goals we set at the beginning of the year.

crowd definitely focus perfect playing playoffs prepares teams types week
That's only going to make us better. Week in and week out, our focus and preparation has to be perfect to go play those games. I think we're definitely up to the challenge. A lot of those teams are teams that are perennially in the playoffs. Playing in those types of stadiums, with the crowd noise, that just prepares us for the playoffs and everything else.
leader mental miss physical played player rodney
I played with Rodney, I know what a leader he is, ... It's not only the physical things he does. It's the leadership, the mental toughness, what he imparts to his teammates. I know they've been able to put in a lot of subs over the years and not miss anything, but a player like Rodney is something special.

He's a guy who's only going to get better experience. He's a guy I think is going to be an impact player for us down the road.

To have a better road record with all the places we played is ridiculous.
ball calling plays stuff throw
We didn't throw the ball to him at all. That's partially my fault. We didn't get around to calling plays for him because we had too much other stuff going on.
close decided division eight fight finish gaining games good job last learning losing lost matter players playoff point season spot time trying win year
I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.
came defense free freshman led playing team
He was a big part of that defense that year. I think he led the team in tackles. And for just a freshman playing free safety, that's pretty impressive. He came up with some big plays.
