trash
We were just trash talking, and it escalated a little bit,
hit whistle
When the whistle blows, it's hit and tackle. ... Are you going to put a knot on somebody?
defense definitely help plan pressure secondary
Our plan on defense is to pressure the quarterback and (Howard) can do that. It'll definitely help the secondary and the linebackers.
arena attitude change percent
A lot of it was me, ... A lot of it was a change in the mentality. We have a new attitude. Any arena you're in, attitude is probably 90 percent of being successful. Well, not 90 percent. At least 70 percent. You have to have talent, too.
happened
A lot of things happened to us this year. But we didn't play up to our capabilities even before we had all those injuries.
heard lost
Any of you know Matlock? Give me his number. I heard he's never lost cases.
check coming definite easier far game gut point respond seeing team turning
This game could be a definite turning point as far as the season, for us. Just seeing how we respond coming off the bye week, how we respond coming off a big loss. It's going to be gut check time. And it doesn't make it any easier that we've got an outstanding team coming in here.
love retire
Oh, definitely. I'd love to retire in Philly.
actions bad
They should have fined the referee. That's who they should have fined for that bad call. I do think referees should get fined, too, for making a bad call. There should be some disciplinary actions for the refs.

They should fine the referee. That's who they should fine, for that bad call. I do think referees should be fined, for making a bad call or missing a call. Some disciplinary action, for the refs.
against excited flying gave played teammates trying
I thought we could have played better against the run. I thought we gave them at least about 30 yards. I was just excited to get back out there, see my teammates flying around and trying to contribute.
defense good job last played running stop week
I thought the defense played good last week; it was just the running game. I feel like we can stop the run week in and week out. We did a pretty good job of it today.
beginning focus good last main nasty season year
I said it at the beginning of the season -- (takeaways) was our main goal. We know we are a nasty defense. We know we are a good defense, but last year we didn't have enough takeaways. That's a focus for us this year, getting to the ball.
aware barry closest run seen stopping
For what he does for that team, I don't see another one out there that's better. He's the closest thing I've seen to Barry Sanders. He's just that good. He does everything. We've got to always be aware of where he's at - at all times. You've got to concentrate on stopping the run first and go from there.
