affect afraid backside ballgame edge guys plays type
You have to really know who's in the ballgame because that's going to affect what type of plays they're going to run. The guys on the backside really have to keep the edge because Parker's not afraid to take it all the way around the other way.
brought fun guys hard love playing plays question rid team work
There's no question we're playing better team defense. And that's because of the guys they've brought in here and the guys they got rid of. It's a lot of fun again. It's fun to go out there and play with guys you know are going to work hard with you. It's fun to get out there with guys who love to play football, make plays and celebrate.
guys ready
I think guys are going to be very ready to play this week.
attention difference exception guys media regular
With the exception of you guys (in the media), it's a regular game. The only difference is the media attention around it.
cover everybody guys handle job knew people plays position run trick
We knew it going in that they were going to run some kind of trick plays. Guys didn't handle their responsibilities and that's what happens. If everybody plays and does their job out there, you cover those plays and those things don't happen. But people got out of position and it was a big play.
bunch execute guys sure
We had a bunch of guys out there who weren't really sure what they were doing (last season). We've got a bunch of guys out there right now that are much more responsible to their assignments, and that's why we were able to go out there and execute when we had to.
facing game guys intensity picks twice
It picks up. You're facing these guys twice a year. They know you, and you know them, so the intensity is there. It's a game we've got to win.
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.
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.
athletes best guys kept team
We had some guys before who weren't team players. The 53 guys we kept may not have been the best 53 athletes but we're the best 53 team players.
brought guys reflected team
They really brought in guys that are going to play team football. Guys who are going to put the team before themselves. And I think it's reflected in our practices, our meetings.
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.
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.
