add best decide good guy maybe trying
We always look at that. A guy may have done everything before, but maybe we want him to be as good as he can be at one thing first before we add on. You have to decide what's best for him and best for what you're trying to get done.
defensive maybe occupying pass people presence solid
Just occupying more than one person. He's the kind of person that can take on two people and still win. He has a presence in his pass rush. Sometimes, maybe your defensive tackles aren't maybe some of the solid pass rushers in the league. But we think he's one of the better pass-rushing defensive tackles around.
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.
adjectives feeling gutter lived maybe parents pride wish
My own parents wish maybe I would use different adjectives at times. But there's also kind of a feeling that I have to get in the gutter because some of them have lived in the gutter. But I don't take pride in that.
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.
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.
