bunch deer early enthusiasm field guys instead plays run seemed team tone whoever wondering
There was no enthusiasm ... We just seemed like a bunch of guys like a deer in the headlights, a lot of guys just wondering who is going to make the plays instead of going out and making the play. That's how it was to me. Whoever is on the field first is going to set the tone, and we can't let the other team go down the field and get a long run and set the tone early in the game.
guys hearing love might
I love hearing all the know-it-alls say that we couldn't do it. Some of those guys might need to be fired.
adjust blitz designed teams trouble
The blitz is designed to get there and when it doesn't get there, you're in trouble. Teams adjust on that.
few game kept last number saying
They've had our number the last few years. They kept saying the first game was a fluke. Now you know. It wasn't a fluke.
eliminate game hurt knew next respond step worried
I'm not really worried about this because I know we'll respond next game and step up. We knew they were going to make some plays, but the little things we did to hurt ourselves, we've got to eliminate those and we'll be fine.
biggest matter needed playing stepped wished
I needed one more. I wished I could get one more. This was just a big day, the biggest of my career. It was a matter of going out and playing without fear. My teammates, being where they needed to be, stepped up a whole lot, too. This was just a big game. We needed it.
bigger crowd felt help loudest man needed played team
It was loud, man. It was the loudest I've heard, and I played here. This crowd, they were loud. It felt like a lot bigger crowd than what it was. They did what they needed to do to help their team and help them win.
christmas coaches defense direction hopefully intact keeps late present
It keeps the defense intact and going in the right direction and with him and hopefully the other coaches staying, we'll keep this thing going. It's a late Christmas present for all of us.
game high
They weren't max-protecting like they did the first game. Everyone was just so focused. I've never had a four-sack game in my life. Not high school, college, pickup, whatever.
dangerous figured sports
We figured if we got in we could be a dangerous team. Well, we're in now.
couple guys inside played saw several turned week wrong
We saw that play all week and just didn't play it well in the game. We had several guys that could have turned that play inside and it probably wouldn't have been a touchdown. A couple of guys played the wrong side of the blocks.
bad happening hard luck practice seems work
Bad luck, that's what it seems like to me, man. We play hard and work on it and get them in practice all the time; it's just not happening in the games.
calls kinds leave officials
But that's how it is in this league. You can't leave it up to the officials to make those kinds of calls because they're human, too. They're going to make mistakes. The official thought he got in, so he got in. We've just got to make up for it when we go back.
few miss tape
I feel pretty good. I've still got a few more days, but I don't feel any pain. With a tape job, I should be okay. I don't want to miss this game.
