date dinner eat girlfriend hooked light order salmon total
I have a girlfriend now, and she's down with the program, ... But before we hooked up, if I had a date with someone, I'd eat dinner beforehand, then order something light on the date, like a salmon fillet, so she wouldn't think I was a total pig.
career goes guy played player ready
I've played a lot of right end in my career and you have to be ready when a guy goes down. There are no excuses. You have to be able to make adjustments as a player and as a team.
bit finally gang good heading leading level looking next practicing raise regular together week
We finally got the gang back together. It was important for us to play together for a little bit leading into the regular season. We were practicing all week together as a unit, and I think that was good for us. We're looking to raise it up another level heading into next week.
adding defense guys loves plays positive run supreme team tells
We have a lot of guys on this defense who play with a passion, so adding another one is great. The more the merrier. He's got such a positive approach. He not only tells us we're going to win, he tells the other team we're going to win. He loves to run his mouth. I do a little of that myself, but he does it even more. He plays with a supreme confidence.

When you have a performance like that, people might say, 'Uh-oh. Maybe that's our defense. Maybe what's happened up to this point has been a fluke,' ... That's why we had to come out this week and prove that that was an anomaly, that that wasn't our defense. We came out here and showed that today. We showed the way we can play against a great offense.

It's sort of shocking, really. Going 9-7 and not making the playoffs doesn't really interest me, but we still want to win next week. We can still have a say in what happens in the NFL.

It's always been an honor to play with that guy.
camp concentration logistics ought pool stray sure
It ought to make camp a little easier, at least from a logistics standpoint. We just have to make sure we don't let our concentration stray and think about that pool too much.
defensive four good job pressure responsibility three
We didn't do a good job getting to the quarterback. It's our responsibility to get there in three or four seconds. We can't put that much pressure on our defensive backs.
change direction guys man move rather short space work
Those guys, they work in a short space, so they're more quick-footed guys rather than having straight-out speed. But yeah, to be that big and still move and change direction the way they do, that's what makes them special. Otherwise, every 340-pound man in American would come out to play football.
challenge definitely nearly ourselves played prove rise road
We definitely still have something to prove on the road, because we've not played nearly as well on the road as we have at home, ... We've got to rise up and challenge ourselves to play better on the road.
