league percent year
It's his 35th year in the league and he still makes 100 percent of his workouts.
league loss seven
I'm at a loss for words. I've been in the league seven years and I've never experienced anything like it before.
compete competition feed
We feed off each other. We have our own competition every day. We compete for sacks, and we compete for tackles. We have that bond.
fed room week
We fed off each other because we were competitive. Week in and week out we'd go in the film room and find out who had the most tackles and assists and sacks.
beat boy goal opportunity
Our goal is to beat the champs. If you want to get to the big dance, you have to play the big boy and you have to beat the big boy to get there. We have the opportunity to do that.
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.
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 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.
corners help pressure trying versa vice work
I think that's one thing we still have to really work on is trying to get four-man pressure on the quarterback, so the linebackers can help the corners or vice versa in coverage, ... That's something we're still trying to work on, and we're going to keep working on it so we can alleviate some of the pressure on the linebackers.
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.
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.
fourth gone good knew momentum overtime quarter seemed
We can't let this go into overtime. In the fourth quarter it seemed like they had momentum going and ... if we'd gone to overtime I don't think it would have been good for us, so we knew that was a play we had to make.
We got the win, but it wasn't great.
