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.
against arm class cut drew football hot ironic last played playing respect saw smile time work
I have a lot of respect for Drew and that family, ... He's a class guy, and I think it's ironic that he got rejuvenated again. He played very, very well last week. I saw it on film and had a big smile on my face. Any time you've got a 140 quarterback rating, I know we've got our work cut out for us. He's got a big arm and when he's hot he is really hot. So we're playing against a much, much better quarterback this week, and a better football team, so defensively we've got our work cut out for us.
coverage good job last offense stop sure task
The quickest way to stop an offense is to get to the quarterback. You can play better in coverage when you can make sure the quarterback is unsettled. We didn't do as good a job in it last time. So that's the task at hand.
earn harder last
As a defense, we've got to make them earn what they get a lot harder than what we did the last time.
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.
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.
attack few last point runs time
Physically, we're stouter at the point of attack then we were at any time last year. We've just had a few runs that popped.
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.
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.
