awhile feels game older slowing
It does take awhile to find yourself. The older I'm getting, the game is slowing down each year. Now ... yeah, it feels good.
help man pumps
You just feel like you've got the 13th man out there. So that'll help us out a lot. It pumps you up.
backs definitely good job losing stop supposed three
Losing three starters, that definitely didn't help. But ... we get our backs to the wall, we're supposed to stop them. We didn't do a good job of that, obviously.
against bigger nice offensive somebody
It's nice going against somebody bigger than me for a change, because I'm bigger than most offensive guards. He's way bigger than me.
ryan
They were always on Ryan to get meaner, to get tougher. I think it worked.
They're getting up quick, so we're not on double-teams as long, and that's enabled us to make more plays.
bothers hanging happen heads hearing whether year
There's been speculation all year about it, hanging over our heads whether it was going to happen or not. Martz was our leader. Hearing all the rumors, it kind of bothers you.
came coach game hands
Coach Martz put the game in our hands today, and we came through.

He sat down with my family, and I felt more of a bond with him than the other coaches who came to visit.
best great happened last reverse
No touchdowns - that's the best thing about the day. I think we had a great red-zone defense. The reverse thing happened to us last week.
confidence great huge playing quick
I didn't know he'd come back that quick and be so effective. It was huge for him. And he has great confidence now. He's playing so well.
