We've really come together and done some amazing things. We knew there couldn't be any more mistakes. We had to get focused and take each challenge one at a time. Each week it gets better, and this game will be even harder and we'll have to play much better. This is the big show now.

We wanted to rattle him. He's looked good, but he's a rookie. So we threw a lot of different looks at him and brought a lot of pressure.

box checks confuse count teams whether
It's a big difference. A lot of times teams don't know whether he's in the box or out of the box. A lot of times quarterbacks make their checks off of whether the safety's in the box or not. If you don't know where he's at, or how to count him, it's going to confuse the offense.

bad bind chance everybody good knows ourselves playing situation talking trying work
We were disappointed because we had kind of put ourselves in a bad situation, but we still had opportunities to go back out there and keep playing and we still had a chance, and as long as we have a chance we are still going to play hard. Everybody knows what is on the line. We did not have to do a whole lot of talking about it. Everybody knows the situation and that we put ourselves in a pretty good bind and we are trying to work our way out of it.

We didn't create enough ball opportunities for our defense. We took that attitude. We knew our offense was having a hard time moving the ball. But we didn't do that.
behind fall fast fight points start tough
We're not going to be able to get behind by so many points and then try to fight back and play well after that. We need to start off fast and keep it going. When you fall behind this team, it's going to be tough to come back.
