You know when you stub your toe, you do everything that day to stay away from it, and you hit it three more times, right? That's what happens in the game. It's sore.
When you spot a team that many points in the first half, it's difficult to win, ... You can't play ball like that on the road. It was way too much. We kind of had our fate handed to us early.
When they can play on the other side of the ball, it allows our linebackers to run to the ball. When that's happening, all of a sudden, a lot of good things are going to happen.
We don't know where he's at, ... He's been a work force, he's been a guy that's always answered the bell. We'll see where he's at.
We've brought two players who bring a physical presence to our defense. They'll put their face masks on people and will hit 'em.
They've got a chance to throw it in the end zone just before the half, ... Anything can happen. But they got a foul, so they couldn't do it. So they are sitting there and they've got to take a knee before the half. Those things get you.
They said 2-5 teams don't make the playoffs, either, but we did it,
Almost every one of these guys is going to end up playing in the NFL. You have to see them.
A lot of people look at the last preseason game as if it's not important. Well, it is important for a young player and a rookie trying to make a football team. Most teams have to cut down 18 or 15 players and bring eight of them back. So, I think it will be a very competitive game for the most part and I look forward to seeing these young guys play.
A lot of times when you're playing, ... your adrenaline is running so much, you get nicked and you just play. If something's wrong, you wake up sore the next morning and find out.
They got rolling and started running. Runner broke some tackles, and we didn't wrap up. You've got to wrap this guy up. One guy can't tackle him.
They're running the ball well, and when you run the ball well, it really opens things up for you.
They realized what type of football team we are. We have to do the little things well. It doesn't look pretty all the time -- pretty doesn't win.
