fell
It was all going our way and then, all of a sudden, it just fell apart.

Sometimes I feel only I can stop myself.
hustle linemen standards
I feel like I've helped create a new standard of hustle for defensive linemen.
growing-up stronger overcoming
I had to grow up fast. I had a lot of obstacles to overcome. It made me a lot stronger, growing up like that.
football selfish player
I'm a selfish football player. Each time the ball is snapped, I tell myself that I want to make that tackle, make that big play.
heard
I never heard of him doing that in the past.
coming happening people
That's always been the case. All you can do is just keep coming, keep coming -- because if they put all those people on me, then someone else can make a play. And that's been happening a lot lately.
beating double running satisfied success taking teams
I'm satisfied with the team's success right now, satisfied with being 2-1, ... I mean, when the sacks come, they're going to come in bunches. It's not like I'm not beating my guy. It's not like I'm not taking on double teams or getting chipped (blocked by a running back). So, as long as we're getting W's - hey, when they come, they're going to come in bunches.

Embarrassing may be a good term for it. It was embarrassing and everything else bad that goes with it.

No matter what any of us say, he's going to back us.

It's very frustrating. There's been a whole lot of maximum-protecting against us, but there are other things we have to do better. I think we have nine less sacks this year than we did last year at this time.

It's going to show if the veterans did a good job of keeping everyone focused and will let us know if we as professionals ... didn't let it distract us.
teammates winning
It's not me at all, ... But we're winning and my teammates are getting sacks. That's really all I can say.
believe disbelief imagined million starting talent winning
A lot of us are just in disbelief right now. We're still in denial. Like we can't believe something like this is happening. With the talent we have on this team, starting off 0-3, we never imagined it in a million years. We've got to start winning here somewhere.
