coming defense experience late learn might players plays results together younger
The results might not always look like it, but I feel our defense coming together as our younger players get more experience and learn how to make plays late in the game. The thing is, with our defense, if one guy's not in his spot, that's when you still see breakdowns.
best complete confidence decision football players
We need to get our best football players on the field. I have complete confidence they're going to make the best decision for the football team.
bowl coaches cut drew execute game handle plan pressure steve trying work
We have to get some pressure on Jake, and we've got our work cut out for us in trying to keep a handle of (Pro Bowl receiver) Steve Smith. It's a big job, but if we execute the game plan our coaches drew up for us, we should be OK.
crowd difficult gets hear offense run stopped tone
We set the tone defensively. We stopped the run and had them in second-and-long, third-and-long. When the crowd here gets into it, it can be very difficult for the offense to hear and to execute.
create game key momentum
I think the whole key to that game was the momentum that we did not create in the very beginning,
running stop tie
That drive, the one that let them tie the score, was embarrassing. He was just running right at us, and we couldn't stop him.
along continue dragons football guess imagery matter whatever winning
Jeez, I guess you can use whatever imagery you want. To me, it's all about winning football games, and that's something we've got to continue doing, no matter how many fire-breathing dragons we have to slay along the way.
dome easiest far georgia imagine places saw somewhere teams visiting worse
I saw somewhere that the Georgia Dome is one of the easiest places for opposing teams to play. That's ridiculous. As far as I'm concerned, I can't imagine a worse place for a visiting team. It's a nightmare.
along city goal highest score state winning
Winning a championship for city and state is the highest goal we have, but who wouldn't want to score a touchdown or two along the way?
number poll whoever
Whoever did that poll hasn't been there in a number of years. When the place is packed, there's nothing better.
badly beat earlier faced guys return time
Those guys beat us pretty badly when we faced them earlier this month. Now it's our time to return the favor.
great improving rounds scratched seattle staring surface team
We have a lot of improving to do. We haven't even scratched the surface of what this team can accomplish. It's a great win. Great to be 1-0, but we have 15 more rounds to go and Seattle is staring us in the face.
couple four human might points
We have to keep our four points of pressure, and when we rush, it might take a couple of us to get him to the ground. He's a big human being.
gave lack might outsiders played until
The outsiders might second-guess this, but we didn't quit. Until the very end, we gave it all out there. Give the Panthers credit. They played well. We didn't, but it wasn't lack of effort.
