affects belong football says somebody talk
Talk is talk. Football is football. If what somebody says affects the way you play on Sunday, you don't belong in the NFL.
clean opened
It opened up for me and I got a clean hit.
exciting game hurt played realize
The possibility to play this game is very exciting and very motivating. The play I got hurt on, I played a little tentative, and I think it made me realize that if you played tentative you're going to get hurt.
best cocky records thinking
We should not be thinking about records or being the best but about doing the things we do best and not getting cocky or arrogant.
aware beat definitely phase phases stop
We definitely are aware that we have to play a lot better on defense. Any phase of their offense, they can beat you in. We're going to have to stop all phases of their offense.
definitely fallen lap plays satisfied
A lot of plays have fallen into my lap this year. I'm definitely not satisfied with gimme' plays.
balls missed plays
They're right. I make a lot of plays off other people's tipped balls or missed tackles.
building chemistry confidence dominant great playing together ways younger
There's a lot of new faces, a lot of younger guys, but I think they're building something great here. Once we get that chemistry together and that confidence of playing together, then I think we'll be a dominant defense. We still have a long ways to go, but we have great potential.
corners definitely help knew mess stake
There's definitely a lot more at stake when you mess up. At linebacker, when I made a mistake, I knew my safeties and corners were going to back me up. Now, if I mess up, the only person who is going to help me is the ref.
believe defensive everybody goes hope man serious
I thought everybody used the 12th Man. I can't believe they're really serious about it. I know for me, as a defensive player, our 12th Man is huge. I need the 12th Man. They give us an advantage. I just hope this thing just goes away.
game glimpse good lucky motivation people picked super team year
It is motivation for us, but that's just a glimpse of our season. Every game we've been the underdogs, and people have not picked us to do well and have thought that we've been lucky the whole year and that we would never make it to the Super Bowl. Here we are, and we're here to show the world that we're a good team and that we're the best.
concerned exciting game maybe motivating possibly walk
I was very surprised. I was concerned about being able to walk again, and even possibly having to retire. And the possibility to maybe play in this game is very exciting and motivating for me.
people talking
People have been talking down about us all year.
risk wait willing
Hey, if he's willing to risk it, I'm willing to give it, too. We're all excited. We couldn't wait for him to come back.
