assignment defense good guys might miles per players playing spending study talent team time
I think we might not have as much talent on our defense this year, but I think we have much better team players this year. Guys aren't going out there and freelancing. They're spending more time in film study and playing good assignment defense the only way it should be played, and that's at 100 miles per hour.
defense finish game gone knows last lose step win
A game like this last year, who knows if we win it or lose it? We couldn't have gone 0-2, and to go out and have the defense finish a game for us, it's a step in the right direction.
credit defense given whatever year
For whatever reason, all year long our defense hasn't been given the credit it probably deserves. But if we go out and play well on Sunday, we'll get all the recognition we need. That's fine.
checks darn defense job last looking silver
If you are looking for silver linings, I think that went pretty darn well. It was a much better job of getting our checks out there on defense than we had all of last year.
football games lead offense win
When we have a 21-point lead at halftime, those are football games we have to win on defense. Our offense can go out there and go three-and-out every series, but defensively we should still go out there and be able to win those football games.
bigger blew deal games goes lost number people won
We blew a number of games we should have won defensively. It all goes back to that first game when we lost and people like to make a bigger deal out of it than it was.
checks guys obviously picked rocky rushing
We're getting better coverage. Our linebackers are more sound. We're getting better checks and better coverage. Guys like Rocky (Bernard) and Bryce (Fisher) have obviously picked it up for us, and they're rushing the quarterback really well.
We really don't know what it's all about. We haven't experienced it, the letdowns and heartbreaks.
chance cut given guys number signed stars teams
We have a number of guys who have been cut by other teams we signed off the street. Guys who were not given a chance in other organizations to play. These guys come in and have been stars for us.
chance cut decided given guys number picked powers starters talent team teams whatever
We have a number of guys on this team that have been cut by other teams that really we picked up off the street, guys that weren't given a chance in other organizations to play, for whatever reason. The powers that be decided they didn't have the talent to play at this level, and these guys have come in and been starters for us.
confidence
I think so. I think they have a lot of confidence in what he's doing.
guys ready
I think guys are going to be very ready to play this week.
above average believed belonged football guys owe practice sunday
Our new guys have come in and believed that they belonged from the first day. They practice like it and then they go out there on Sunday and show it. Without those guys, we are an average football team, a little above .500. I think we owe them a lot.
control feet pump run rushing
Just be under control when you're rushing the passer. When he pump fakes, you've got to keep your feet and just run right through him.
