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.
coming envision exploding full hit offensive
When you are coming full out and just exploding at an offensive player, ... you know before you hit him what you're going to do. You envision it and it's like he's not even there.

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.
hit tough
He was a tough guy. We hit him with a lot. And he always popped up.
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.
good guy heard hurt playing
I thought the guy did a pretty good job, considering we'd heard he was playing hurt (sore shoulder),
