consistent reason talk
There is no reason we can't be elite. But let's not talk too soon. We have to have a consistent thing going on before we say we're right where we need to be.
buzz funny good hearing playing rightfully three
It's kind of funny out here, actually hearing some buzz about us. Being here for so many years, and before I got here, it was always about the big three on offense, and rightfully so. But, you know, it is good to hear a little about us, and we're playing a lot better.
love types
It was old school, bloody. I love those types of games.
definitely
It was definitely one of my better games,
defensive house knowing matter playing scheme
It's classic, old-school, defensive football. I think it's just a matter of playing together, knowing the scheme and getting comfortable with the scheme. It's like being in your house for a long time.
defense near nowhere ongoing transition
It's an ongoing transition to become the defense we want to be. We're nowhere near where we need to be.
across certain fast ongoing puzzle send trying
It's an ongoing puzzle that we're trying to solve. We need to send certain messages, like we're all fast but just don't come across the middle.
everybody feed gets
We feed off each other. If (one guy) gets a sack, now I have to get one. So it makes everybody play a little harder.
trying use doubters
I'm going to prove the haters and doubters wrong. I like when the doubters try to say that I'm (not still) elite or that I'm too old. I'll use that.
block eye guy
My favorite part is that 1-on-1 matchup... Block out everything else and stare into that guys eyes.
winning games long
As long as we win games and I harass the quarterback, however I do it, we're good.
pride play guy
I want to play my best, day in and day out. It's a pride thing for me. I'm going to go out there and dominate the guy I'm playing against every time.
sports winning nba
Of all the things in sports, getting a sack is one of the hardest things to do. It's like a last-second, game-winning shot in the NBA. A guy hits the last-second shot, and the fans scream. For us (defensive ends), the sack is everything. It's hard to get there. But once you do, there's nothing like it.
blitz drop everybody four front good guys pressure
We didn't blitz a whole lot. We usually don't have to because we get good pressure from the guys up front. Our idea was to put as much pressure on him with our front four and drop everybody else back into coverage.
