I think he's definitely been under more pressure before. He's smart enough to realize in the long run it's still just a game anyway. It's a playoff game and maybe the tempo picks up a little bit more, and of course everything is at stake, but at the same time it's still football.
I think everyone's been disciplined. Everyone's been in the gaps they're supposed to get in and guys are making gang tackles, not waiting for guys to make the play, and everybody's running to the ball.
We have to be a lot crisper. We have to be sharp. Defensively, we can't give up any big plays and let them move the ball at will. They have a great running game. We're going to have to stop the run. That's first and foremost.

That's probably one of our biggest spikes on our team, that whole combination of the three guys inside, one who is an aggressive linebacker who can run like the wind and two tackles who are athletic and strong. That's why people can't run on us - the middle has been pretty stout.
Everybody's professional. Nobody's an idiot. Nobody's a jerk. We all know each other. So it's not like we see each other in the city and we run over and bust the window out of their car with a baseball bat or nothing. We're all friends.
We've just got to make plays. Keep the ball out of their hands, make the tackles, all the other stuff. We didn't do it.
There have been three guys I've been around who, personality-wise, have been the most inspirational,
When I saw Toomer catch it and there were no flags, it was the most excited I've been around here in a long time.
We're our own worst enemy. You doubt yourself more than anybody else ever will. If you can get past that, you can be successful.
When I saw the date of the game, it was a little like, 'Whoa,' ... It kind of took you back. We'll go out here and hopefully give everybody in the city of New York and across the country something to be happy about and turn it into a celebration.
This time of year, you really have to be able to stop the run. So it's going to be key for us to get back to where we were.
This team is one of those teams that you are going to have to stay until the end of the game to see exactly what happens.
