against bit great knows league quality rest road week
The rest of the league knows now that we can be even better this year. We got after them a little bit tonight. Week 1, on the road against a great quarterback and a quality opponent. That's doing something.
approach attitude bit definitely evolved five four good guys players position scheme similar understand
They are definitely legit. They have good players at every position and what they do is pretty similar to what we did four or five years ago. I think we've evolved a bit from where we were. They have guys who understand it's not all about the scheme - it's also about your attitude and the way you approach the game.

couple definitely golf hit nerves realize shake
The nerves definitely hit you. It hit me a couple of times. You get over it, you shake it off. You have to realize it's just a golf game.
It's not always about the sacks. It's about the quarterback pressure.

No matter how we get it done, whether it's ugly or it's pretty, a win is a win. That's the bottom line.

It seemed like they knew they weren't going to be down there again. I guess they thought their best chance was to throw it.

Every year is a do-or-die year ... especially when the cap numbers start creeping up on the older guys. (Allen) found a way to get it done for this off-season. You never know if we're going to have to be creative and do it again next off-season.
