good hear needed spoke turn
It was good to hear it, I needed that. He spoke out of turn right there.
came coach money pleasure shocked tells turned
He shocked everybody. He told us he came here because it would be a pleasure to coach us. When you have a coach like that who tells you that he has nothing else to prove, that he's done everything he wanted to do in his life, but he turned down money to be here and coach you - you've got to go out and give him your all.
against plenty shut success yards
We shut Rudi down plenty of times. We shut him down more times than he had success against us. He only had 100 yards against us one time.
people send sideline tap
We're going to try to tap out as many people as we can, I'm going to put it like that. We're going to try to send as many people to the sideline as we can.
people send somebody
We're going to try to send as many people as we can to the sidelines. If we can 'tap out' somebody that's what we're going to do.
kept
This one will always be remembered. It's never been done before what we did. We kept being told we couldn't do this, and that's what we needed.
hide
There's no way he can hide from me. We have to meet. We have to meet. Over and over and over.
ball craziest games good playoffs
That was one of the craziest games I've ever been in. I feel good the ball actually bounced our way in the playoffs one time.
bad defense focus greater next played stretch wish
I wish the defense could have played better. It was one of our bad performances in that four-game stretch we had. It doesn't matter. We'll have a greater focus next week.
stick
I still stick to my word: that's not smash-mouth football. We play smash-mouth football.
eight forget gets guy nine played pressure situations
You can forget he's a second-year guy because he's out there so poised. He's not nervous. I've been around a lot of quarterbacks. I've been around quarterbacks who have played eight or nine years and are put in pressure situations and the pressure gets to them.
three
Three on the road? Nothing we've never done before.
blood craving sleeping tasted thirsty
I was sleeping all week, but I just tasted blood right there. You're craving it when you haven't tasted it in a while. Now I'm thirsty for more.
bowl league name pro seven six speaks talking three
I don't have to make a name for myself by talking on the microphone. I made a name for myself when I go out there and play football. I feel like what I've done in this league speaks for itself. I started six out of the seven years I've been here. I went to the Pro Bowl three out of the seven. If they don't know who I am now, they are never going to know me anyway.
