believe break great honest whatever
To be honest with you, I don't believe whatever was said. He's a great person, and I really don't believe he would break the law.
confidence game guys knew main offense second tonight
We had confidence in the offense and knew they'd play better in the second half. The main thing we were able to do tonight was get some of the young guys game time.
bad field intentions punish taught
I don't think you can be taught that. It's something that's just in me. When I get on that field, my intentions are to just go out there and try to punish people. Not in a bad way, but that's how I play football.
turn
I didn't want to give it up. I really didn't know things were going to turn out like this.
games talent won
Now that we're getting drafted, we see what kind of talent we had. We should've won more games with all that talent.

The reason I wear it is to symbolize my brother. He's incarcerated right now. That's the number he wore, and I always wanted to wear it.

The reason I was so devastated is me and him have been through the same thing, sort of. I can feel what he was feeling. I was shocked. Overall, I felt real, real bad for A.J.

Derek is a real smart player and a smart person, period. He can step up and do the job.

It's been my dream since I've been a little kid. Not a lot of people get a chance to play in the NFL.

I told him that I was praying for him and that I'm behind him 100 percent. He's down; he's in disbelief. But I'm sure he'll make it through.
gap kept knew line run work
We knew they weren't going to line it up and try to run it down our throats. They did a lot of misdirection and kept us guessing. We need to go back on work on fundamentals like tackling, getting into your gap and doing your job.
ball disguises few great guys held looks pay threw
The young guys did a great job. I also think we threw a lot of looks and disguises at them. Their quarterback held the ball a few times because he didn't want to make a mistake. When he did, we made him pay for it.
heart mess somebody wishing
Your heart is throbbing. You're just wishing somebody will mess up.
