emily five games huge last pitching playing pressure puts table
Emily set the table for us by getting on base. That inning was huge for us. The last five games we're been playing behind. That puts a lot of pressure on the pitching and defense.
almost exactly expecting game kinds practiced weather
We've practiced in all kinds of weather. Today, it's almost exactly the weather that we're expecting to have on game day. That's good.
games good guys practiced rest tried vet week work
We'll work him out, just because he's a vet who has been in a lot of big games before. We've tried to rest him as much as we can, but we feel good about the guys that have practiced all week long. If we can get him, that's a bonus.
bills coach game mind quit sideline thinking three tradition until
I try to keep that game out of my mind as much as possible, but as you can imagine, it's a big part of the tradition here. It wasn't until I had been on the sideline as the Bills coach two or three times that I quit thinking about it.
game job parts putting rush situations sure
A lot of the parts of his game have improved. As coaches, we've done a better job of making sure that we're putting him in some situations where he can rush the passer.
ball calms past settle sure teased
I've teased him about making sure he calms down, just plays. He's a professional. Past the first play or two in the ball game, you just settle down and play football.
hardest last rush single
The single hardest thing to do is rush the passer in the last two minutes.
excitement league week
Each week is a dogfight. It's why the excitement in the league is what it is.
became belief brings coaches deal fine hope line second
There's a fine line between hope and belief. But he brings belief. All of us became better coaches the second that deal was cut.
bunch catching created early
We created a bunch early in the year, but we didn't come up with the ball. Now we're catching the ball.
almost ball bill blitz bringing drop good knew leave lined people pressured protecting seven showing throwing upset wind
Sometimes the idea of a blitz can be almost as good as the blitz itself. We pressured Bledsoe on seven of the first 10 snaps. I knew Bill Parcells was going to over-commit to protecting his quarterback, and leave more people in to block. So we started showing pressure and not bringing it, making the quarterback feel by the way we lined up, 'Here they come.' And then we'd drop back, and he'd wind up getting upset and throwing the ball away.
gonna minute win
At the two minute mark, ... I said to our guys, 'We're gonna win it our way, right?' They yelled, 'Our way!'
defense defensive energy example fact leader leadership means playing rather sets since strong style tremendous
Cornelius is a strong leader on the defensive line. We like the fact that his leadership comes from the example he sets on the field. Then, when he does talk, he means it when he talks. He's had tremendous energy since he's been here. There are not many defensive tackles I would rather have playing for us in our style of defense than Cornelius.
backs defensive fitting good guys high job large picked playing solid style
We've got some pretty good defensive backs here, and that's a large part of why we are playing pretty solid on defense, when you've got guys on the back end that were picked high and justifiably so. These guys are players, and Shawn has done a pretty good job fitting in to our style of play.
