coach guy hard night puts spends
I know how hard coach Gibbs works. Sometimes he spends the night at the facility. When you've got a guy who really puts that much into it, you don't want to let him down.
attention beast blows definitely destroys game gets guy huge impact number pay people running secret
He had a huge impact on this defense. He's a guy who just gets into the backfield and destroys everything. He blows up running plays. He's just a beast once he gets going, and a guy a lot of people don't really know. He's kind of our best-kept secret around here. He definitely doesn't get the attention he deserves, but in a game you definitely better pay attention to number 96.
ball chemistry continue fly guy hand hit strip
That chemistry can come into it. If you know one guy is there to make the tackle, then you can say, 'I know my buddy's got the tackle, now I can try to strip the ball out.' That does go hand in hand, and the turnovers will come. I don't know when they're going to come, but if we continue to fly to the ball and hit people, we're going to get them.
best ears everybody good hear hoping involved keeping owners powers supposed
I know the owners and everybody involved and the powers that be are doing their best to get things back to where they're supposed to be. We're like everybody -- keeping our ears to the ground, hoping to hear some good news.
definitely everybody glad loves position puts stayed
Everybody loves Gregg. He definitely puts us in position to make plays, (so) we're glad he stayed here with us.
agent coming free work
I want to come out every day and work like I'm a free agent coming out of butt-scratch university.
good knock mike rocky win
We are a Rocky Balboa-type team, but it's good to get a young Mike Tyson-type win and knock someone out.
ball both call rough teams tech trying
That tech call really got us. I thought (Oliver) was just trying to go for the ball and he got called for it. It was really rough out there. There were some fouls on both teams which should have been called and they weren't.
becoming last pass pop robert
Last year, Robert was still more of a pass catcher. He's got a little more pop to him this year. He's becoming a better blocker.
cage feed game kidding raw turn
I'm always kidding that we keep him in a cage and feed him raw meat. On game day, we turn him loose.
matt respect stepped today won
When things started getting a little physical, Matt stepped up and made big plays. He won a lot of respect from me today the way he played.
fight home last ready six tough
It's been a tough fight these last six weeks. We ain't ready to go home yet, so we're going to keep sawing wood.
couple defense eyes foot glad guess looking panic washington whatever
I guess they know we're a blitzing team. A couple of times we're looking like we're going to come, with one foot up and eyes big. Those guys, they kind of panic a little bit, and they say, 'This Washington defense is coming.' Whatever it was, we were glad we were able to back them up a little bit.
anybody believed
I don't know if anybody believed but us. We did enough tonight. We're heroes, all of us.
