games help line maybe people played saw
I've played for people who play games with you. With (Shanahan) you know where you stand. And he saw something in a lot of us maybe some other people didn't. You can't help but put it on the line for that.
coach focused foresee game guys half maybe playing playoff starters stay weeks
Especially for a half. I'm not a coach, but we still need to go out there, stay focused and keep doing what we've been doing. To take off two weeks and have to play a playoff game is going to be hard, so I foresee the starters playing maybe a half and then getting some of the young guys in.
ahead buffalo care control ended ending forward fourth games left quarter teams third
We ended the third quarter (of the season) at 3-1, so we look forward to ending the fourth quarter with four games left at 4-0. That's all we can control -- what we do collectively. We play Baltimore, Buffalo and all the teams ahead of us. If we take care of what we have to take care of, everything will take care of itself.
beat definitely extra face faced game heading hopefully knowing playoff proud sure victory
I think so. If we should face them again, I'm sure they'll have some extra motivation, but just to have faced them once and come out with a victory is something that we're definitely proud of heading into the playoff game if we should play them, knowing that we beat them once and hopefully we can do it again.
everybody flying game good guys hitting involved knows practice whatever
It was good to come back and get some hitting going on . . . . Guys were flying around. I think whatever everyone did when they were away from here is over after the first play. You practice like that and everybody knows this is the kind of game you want to be involved in.
depending game gives offense ready surprised
Was it more than we really wanted to do? Yes, of course. But in any game situation, you can't be surprised because, depending on what the offense gives you, you always have to be ready to do whatever's called.
ball catch eventually game hurt last motto passing regardless run running succumb top week
Regardless of how they started last week passing the ball, their motto is: We're going to hurt you with the run and we're going to pound, pound, pound. And eventually you'll succumb to all that pounding. ... You've got to get on top of them early, man. If you get on top of them early, their running game is nonexistent. They're going to have to pass the ball to catch up to you.
body bruised cleveland faced game scale sore
And on a scale of 1 to 10, they're a 10. Just being in Cleveland for one year, having faced them twice, my body was sore and bruised after every game I faced them.
field goal happen
I've never had it happen on a field goal before.
carried decided field frustrated guess happened incomplete missed saw third totally whoever
The third down even before that play happened was incomplete and you could tell they were totally frustrated and dejected and I think that carried over into that fourth-down field goal. He saw his kicker missed it, and I guess he decided to take it out on whoever was there.
beat champion felt good guys knock media unless
Like you guys (the media) have always been saying, you can't be the champion unless you beat the champs. It felt good to unseat them, to knock them off their pedestal.
felt good sweat
It felt good just to get the sweat going again.
beat found heard last playoffs solution solving sure talk though
You kind of heard it every day for a little bit. I'm new to the club, this is my first year, but when I got here, the talk was the Colts. Just being in the playoffs the last two years and having them beat us, so even though it's the preseason, we still want to do some things to make sure we found the right solution to solving that problem.
We got the win, but it wasn't great.
