They were just putting big guys onto little guys, and it worked for a while.

That showed how much heart and resiliency we have. We were manhandling them in there.

It's all on us. We have to win. Whatever it takes.
carries doubt gap job mind miss presence stay thinking
It's not like we're out there thinking about it, but there's not a doubt in my mind that we miss Antonio. We miss his presence on the field, everything about him, the way he carries himself. But I don't think anybody's out there thinking, 'Oh, Antonio's not here, we can't get it done.' We have one job to do most times, one gap to cover. You've just got to stay in your gap and do your job and not think about anything else.
home played supposedly
It was supposedly their home game, but we just played like it was our home game.

I haven't felt this excitement in here about any player since I've been here. It feels like he's the missing link as far as this defense goes.

I guess we're going to try to keep on doing what we've been doing. They said it about Deuce last week, but we did a pretty good job on him. Hopefully we can do it again.

He sees what we need to be doing and he tells you. He's never afraid to speak up.

When we left Seattle I was convinced we were the best team in the NFC. In certain situations we played like it. In a lot of situations we didn't play like it.
