anytime guy knew lose people rough situation
It was very shaking. Anytime you lose a guy like that, in a situation like that, it's kind of rough for the team. Not a lot of people knew what was really going on.
everybody guys takes
It takes all 11 guys to do it, and that's what we did. Everybody was in the right spot; you get everybody involved.
best coverage easier good guys lives rush sack
A sack and a good rush -- that's the best coverage you can have. When the guys are up there working hard, getting it done, it makes our lives a lot easier on the back.
across dominate doubt doubting guy line physical saw schedule super today winning
They look at our schedule and say that it was too weak. They think that we're not a physical team, but what you saw today was good, old-fashioned smash-mouth. Line up and dominate the guy that's across from you. It's still not going to matter. Those who doubt us are going to keep it going. That's fine. Keep doubting us all the way to winning the Super Bowl.
guys regardless side
He's one of those guys who's a big-play guy. You've got to know where he is at all times, regardless of which side he's on.
avoid guy move pass pressure puts smart speed typical
He's not the typical second-year quarterback. He's a very smart guy and he's big. If the first pass isn't there he's able to move around; he's not a big speed guy, but he's able to avoid sacks. That puts a lot more pressure on us.
anytime catching guy timing
You want to take the timing away from a guy like that. Anytime you can keep a guy like that from catching many balls, I think he's going to get frustrated.
knew past plays talked trick
We talked about it the past two weeks. We knew that Randle El is an ex-quarterback, so we already knew they had a lot of trick plays up their sleeves. But they just got us on that one.
aware couple knew plays talked trick
We talked about it all week. We knew Randle El is an ex-quarterback. We knew Ward is an ex-quarterback. We already knew they had a lot of trick plays up their sleeves, so we had to be aware of it. On that play right there it just got one on us. They got a couple of big plays on us, and sometimes that's all it takes.
coming second sure talked toward
We had talked about him all week. We made sure we had a second person coming toward him on every player.
appreciate biggest bowl everybody game gotten great next opportunity players super talk
The Super Bowl is The Show. That's all that everybody is going to talk about for the next two weeks. And when you get there, it makes you appreciate that there are a lot of great players in this game who've never gotten the opportunity to play on the biggest stage.
practice trying
Everyone went on trying to practice and do things as usual. But it was always in the back of guys' minds.
coach learning
I still see myself as a young player, still learning a lot and still have got a lot to learn. But still, every year, I get more comfortable. I don't feel like a coach yet, but it's getting there.
I still feel like I'm a young player, and I still feel like I have a lot to learn. But I feel like I'm getting more comfortable, and I'm getting better every year.
