expected good happens hear knew left obviously played sad senior tackle year
I played with him a year at Utah; he was a right tackle and I was a left tackle my senior year. I knew him real well; he's a real good guy. It was sad to hear about it. Obviously no one expected it. When it happens to a real good person, it makes you pretty upset.
ability against good happens hard natural peppers player
He just has the natural ability to get to the ball. Luckily, I get to go against Peppers all the time, and I think he's a good player too. It's going to be a hard day, but that's what happens in the playoffs.
best bring control leadership
I just bring leadership and try to control the game. I want to get the best out of everybody.
hard penalties seemed time
It seemed like every time we got a penalty, it was on a big gain. That makes it more frustrating. We get down to first-and-10 at the 11, and end up first-and-20. There are just things like that that will kill you. ... Those penalties are hard to overcome.

against great job letting middle outside run running whenever
They were clogging everything up in the middle and whenever we went outside they were letting their linebackers run and make plays. They did a great job of game-planning against our running game. And when we don't get that push, our running game's not going to work.
college drawing finds freshman great known plays seems since steve watching
I've been watching Steve since I was a freshman in college. He's been making great plays as long as I've known him. He seems to get better every game. You know he's drawing more and more attention, but he still finds a way to do what he does.
affect caught definitely games good knows playoffs plays stressed stressful time
The thing about Jake is he doesn't get stressed out or too caught up in stressful situations. The playoffs are a time where if you do feel that, it could definitely affect your play. I think Jake just knows when the big games are and when you need to make the big plays and he's just really good at doing that.
against chance everybody great redeem
It's just great to get a chance against these guys. It's great to redeem yourself and let everybody know what we're all about.
consistent corner dan hitting inside spots throw
Dan was hitting his spots today. He was able to throw on the inside corner on a consistent basis.
hit
They only had two sacks. But I think Jake got hit a lot more than that.
everybody shock
It was a shock to me, just like everybody else.
crowd except late loud noise remember work year
I remember my first year and in some of the loud games, I was really late off the ball. It's just something you've got to work on. You can't really simulate except being in the games. They try to do crowd noise at practice, but it's just not the same.
game remember
Hopefully, everyone will remember this game and not the first one.
