bit extra football found guys job playing since tonight
We had a job to do. Hey, it's a football game. We've been playing this since we were 8. It's really simple. Tonight guys found that extra bit of energy.
across almost character country early flight game playing shows team
This is unprecedented a team getting up as early as we did, making a flight almost all the way across the country and then playing a game that night. It shows you how much character we have.
ability bring good last numbers opportunity playing traded
Obviously, the numbers were down last year. When I got traded here, I just thought it was an opportunity to bring some leadership, to bring some playmaking ability to the defense. We're playing pretty good right now, but we have a long way to go.
run stopped
We stopped the run and made them a one-dimensional team.
beat good learn players
There are some things I can get better at. That's what preseason is for. You're going to get beat once in a while. But the good players learn from their mistakes.
couple form
regains the form he had a couple of years ago.
fooled guys help routes run somewhat thinking totally wondering
I was just thinking about it yesterday, wondering if I'm going to get fooled or not, ... It's going to help me somewhat because I know what those guys can do and I know some of their releases, but they're in a totally different offense. In one respect, it will (help me), but in another, they run totally different routes now.
bread fights-and-fighting hanging piece stop
We have something to play for and you can't stop fighting. It's just a little piece of bread but we're still hanging on.
hurt percent tough
Donovan McNabb is a tough, tough guy. A hurt Donovan is still better than 80 percent of the quarterbacks in this league.

Donovan McNabb is a tough, tough guy, ... A hurt Donovan is still better than 80 percent of the quarterbacks in this league.
form great hold offense peak points proud satisfied second shape
It's just the second game. We don't feel like we're at our peak yet. But to hold a great offense to 17 points is something you can be proud of. But in no way, shape or form are we satisfied with how we played. We know we can play better.
against explosive guys head intensity lay running terrific
It's a big challenge. Those guys are one of the most explosive offenses in the league. To have so many weapons, you just can't lay your head on one guy. They have a terrific running game. They have terrific receivers. But if we come out and play with the same intensity we had against the Jets, then we should be fine.
against attention ball competition garner gets goes great guy guys humble job looking played respect score top trying twice year
Probably Marvin Harrison. I played against him twice a year when (the Colts) were in our division, and the guy doesn't say a word. He just goes out there and gets the job done each and every year. He's not looking for the attention some of the other receivers are looking for. That's how you garner respect around the league: by being a humble person and not trying to humiliate guys. There's competition out there, and guys are working their tails off. So when you score a touchdown give the ball back to the ref. On top of that he's a great player.
best city grow hoping imagine knowing people perspective seeing
It was tough. You've got to put things in perspective. When it comes to things like that, football's secondary. To see all those people and what they were going through, I couldn't even imagine being in those peoples' shoes. It was real tough, seeing the city you grow up in, your whole life, not knowing if you'll ever be able to go back there. I'm just hoping the best for everybody.
