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.
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.
calling guys knew
We knew what the play was. We had guys calling out the play at the line.
charge guys taking valuable
This is what he does best, play football. I thought it was important for the young guys to see him here, see him taking charge in the huddle. It's very valuable for him to show the young guys how important it is to be here, to be working.
ball danny deeper defensive guys injuries job last ready remarkable side time week
I thought Danny did a remarkable job last year, ... with so many injuries on the defensive side of the ball and how they impacted him. He did an unbelievable job of just getting guys ready to go week in and week out, and we're deeper now than we were at this time last year.
confidence effort guys joe knows maximum strong tremendous trust
Joe is a very strong point-of-attack person. More importantly, there is a tremendous confidence in the guys who play around him when he is in the game. Everyone knows you can trust him with maximum effort on every snap.
attitude chance good guys maybe might people playing spring team time
He's doing better. He's improving. I think he's got a real good team attitude and as he improves, he'll play more, ... But right now, we're playing as well as we can play with the people that we are playing with and the guys that have put the most time in. There could be a chance -- maybe it might spring out this week.
cut defensive guys hot last lay played remember run rush stop tub wrist
Remember last year? 'Gregg, you can't stop the run with that defensive line.' 'Gregg, these guys can't rush the passer.' I don't know why I didn't cut my wrist and lay in a hot tub of water. Every one of them played with an attitude.
divide gotten guys help last normally plays series short three time valuable week
The last three series of that ballgame, we were able to get some valuable time for some of the guys that haven't gotten a lot of reps. We were able to divide up the reps. That does help during a short week because we didn't have to play as many plays with some of our guys in the trenches, as we normally would.
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.
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.

Each week is a dogfight. It's why the excitement in the league is what it is.

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.
