lying
I'd be lying to you if I said that it's just another game. It really isn't.
four guys suit
You have a 53-man roster and only 47 suit up. Some guys are going to have to play all four quarters.
both everybody teams
Both teams wanted to do some things with their defense, I think that's clear. And everybody is going to want to show they did the right thing.
careful flag great hit might
I'd better be careful with what I say; I might get fined by the league, but that flag was just so late. I thought it was a great hit by John.
lead percent team tied trying
I am going to play at 100 percent because I am trying to lead the team in sacks, too. I am tied with Trevor and some other guys, so I have something to play for.
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.
bit definitely fitting great
So it's definitely a great challenge, ... We can see where we are a little bit and see how we are fitting together.
astute point puts smart stuff throw wants
Shanahan is more like an astute guy, a thinker. Right to the point when you get that stare. When you get that it's over, you can throw all that smart stuff out the window. When he puts the beams on you, you'll do what he wants every time.
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.
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.
happens pile
It happens in the pile all the time,
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 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.
