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.
bad million season
I'm very shocked. I never would have thought in a million years that the season would go as bad as it has. It's just been one thing after another.
amount bad coming felt high last million played season talent
I'm very shocked. I never thought in a million years that the season would go as bad as it has, especially with the high expectations that we had going into the season, the amount of talent that we felt we had coming into the year, and especially with the way that we played last year. It's been a shock. It's just been one thing after another.
behind carry chemistry happen move season
The chemistry is still here. It's just a new season. A lot of things happen from one season to another. As a professional, you can't let it carry over. You got to put it behind you and move on.
believe football team
We believe we're a better football team and we didn't show it, not even close.
business coming cracking great happen hearing hugh laughing miss player understand
We're going to miss coming in here and hearing Hugh laughing and cracking jokes. He was a great player for us and a great person for us. So, this really hurts. We understand it's a business and these things happen all the time. But it still hurts.
against gave happy played turned
We're happy with the way things turned out. I thought we could have played better against the run. I thought we gave them 30 more yards, but they're a professional team, so they're going to get some plays.
threw throw
The ref said I threw a punch, but I didn't throw a punch,
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.
anyone block punch threw trash tried
(Mathis) threw a punch and I tried to block it. We were just trash talking. I don't think anyone should have been ejected.
playing stop today wish
I wish it wasn't over and that we were playing today to go into the playoffs. But the way it was going, at some point, you stop the bleeding.
focus good last main nasty year
That 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 the ball.
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.
