knew pressure run since spread
We knew that was what they are going to do. They spread it out. They put pressure on you with speed. That's what they've been doing since they've had this run of success, but I thought we would be would be able to make them one-dimensional.
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.
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.
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.
running world want
Weve got to do everything in the world to make sure we kill Frank Gores head. We want him running sideways. We want his head sideways.
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.
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!'
