blocks call football plays practiced separation testament toughness treatment whether
Whether you call it a low-grade separation or a contusion, he practiced every day. He won't get treatment for it. He blocks out pain. He plays through it. It's a testament to his toughness as a football player.
behind front hit people plays pushes reason run
Renaldo really pushes people around up front and he plays tremendously hard. He does a lot of things behind the scenes. There's a reason why our linebackers make a lot of plays. There's a reason why our linebackers run and hit as much as they do. Renaldo understands.
field improvement left nice plays room single
It's nice to see the way we're playing, but we have a lot of room for improvement where we think we've left plays on the field in every single ballgame.
allow cannot finish good hard plays running runs
If you could have those two runs back. But you can't. Normally, we take those plays away. We cannot allow those long runs on defense. We've got to finish those tackles. We did so many things well that we thought we had to do to take away a very good running game. Those plays are going to be hard to stomach.
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.
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.
