fired
Everybody's fired up about what we can do.
ball
This year, it's just working more on if it makes sense. So this year, if I see it, I'm like, 'Look, Coach, the ball is right there, can I just go get it?' He'll say go get it.
stay thinking though
You'd see something and you're thinking like, 'Well, I've got to see here, even though I see the ball, I could make the play, but I'll stay here because I'm going to get graded down (by coaches) for this,'
believe far goals might people sky unit
As far as this year, our goals are through the sky right now, ... Some of the goals we have right now, a lot of people might think are unattainable or farfetched. We believe with the unit we have put together, we can do it.
far
As far as I'm concerned, I made a play,
bay division green magnitude winning
This is Green Bay. I don't think I really need to say the magnitude of winning in Green Bay and clinching our division in Green Bay.
coming guys head missed mistakes plays putting reason run seeing tend whatever wrap
Missed tackles are just mistakes for whatever reason -- putting my head down and not seeing what I'm doing, coming off my feet, whatever. I tend to not wrap sometimes, and I still get away with getting tackles. Some guys you don't wrap, and they're going to run through tackles. You just have to make plays when they're there.

chance dwell great meant moment ruin talking
It's a great moment we're having here, and you are going to ruin it by talking about that? The chance to do that meant a lot to us. But we won, so I can't dwell on it. It's just a number, and we can't make any more of it than that.
production
It's always production over technique, but if you're going to come out of your technique, make the play. If you don't make the play, it's all on you.
anywhere bears benchmark close defense good means people
It means a lot because the benchmark is the '85 Bears and their defense, and if we come anywhere close to where they were at least people can say we had a good defense that year.
bears chicago expect
This is what we expect every week. This is the way the Chicago Bears should be playing.
drive mistakes offense simple
The offense put us up, and we let them drive down the field. It was just simple mistakes. We'll get better.
best happen
He's the best linebacker in the league. He's making it happen all day, every day.
