As good as we were (in the 34-15 win over) New Orleans, ... we were that sloppy against Dallas (on Monday). While we did some good things with our first group in the first quarter, we were careless.
Steve Smith, for his size, is very, very strong -- physically a strong guy, has strong hands.
That happens on occasion. You'll get a team signing somebody that skews, that's like Alex Rodriguez signing with Texas.
Talk about a no-name group. I know that phrase has been coined before, but we are kind of that group on defense right now.
It's an all-day sucker. You have to think about him all the time. You can't relax.
It's a move that he's handled very well. He's a good enough player to do that.
As clean as we were against New Orleans, we were that sloppy against Dallas tonight. We were just careless. That was kind of how it went.
As I've told the team, ultimately you'll be judged by what happens and where you are at the end of the season. I understand why we are the underdogs, and there's really only one way to handle that. That's not by talking, it's by playing the game and seeing what happens.
That team (Green Bay) was a little bit more of a star team. We had more than a couple guys that were really pretty well known at their positions throughout the country and went to Pro Bowls. Our team now, even though we are fortunate to have a number of players go to the Pro Bowl, is really a team in the truest sense of the word.
It's what we're shooting for. You've got to know that,
It usually to takes three or four years to really look back on a draft.
It's almost impossible not to pick those guys if you need a quarterback because they don't come around very often.
It's like, OK, we're playing the game and those guys are upstairs doing whatever they are doing,
It was good that they had to pass the ball a lot in the second half. He didn't have to get up in there too much.
