I've seen games that are stupid and dumb and sloppy a lot of penalties and you get your (butt) kicked,
We're three games in and we're 2-1. We still haven't done anything yet. We'll go into the bye week and try to get healthy and regroup.
There's a lot of guys that haven't been here in years past for all the streaks and the things we've had going on with them. There's an obvious rivalry there that adds to it a little bit. ... But the way that we approach each game will be the same way regardless of who the opponent is.
They were loading the box up. They were bound and determined not to let us run, and we were taking advantage of that. Our game plan is to run the ball always, we throw it when we want to.
Just stupid, people doing dumb stuff, me included. I've seen games that are dump and stupid and sloppy, and you get your (butt) kicked. To have five turnovers and however many penalties we had and still have a chance to win the game at the end? It shows we can be a darned good team if we get our head out of our butt.
But to have five turnovers and how many ever penalties we had and, really, have a chance to win the game at the end ... it shows we can be a darn good team if we get our head out of our butt and play better.
We didn't make the playoffs. We definitely did a better job this year, but we still didn't make the playoffs.
At this point, I want to be good enough (at linebacker) to win games.
Don't get me wrong, we haven't proven anything yet. We won a game, big deal.
You do one early in the year and everyone's going to do it to you until you put the fire out. It's my responsibility to put the fire out, not only for myself but everybody else. Maybe if I stop committing penalties, than everybody else will stop.
We did a decent job of keeping them off balance,
There's one voice here. There's one person out front, and that's Nick, and everything goes through him. Not everybody likes it, but that's the way he runs his ship.
We have a lot of respect for him. He's a very good talent. He can run. He's quick. He's powerful. He has great vision. If we can't stop him, it's going to be a long day.
Who knows what the face of this team is going to look like next year? Winning six in a row ending in December isn't going to do a thing for you come next September. A lot of stuff happens.
