They're really good. They're physical. They pressure you. They shoot it extremely well. And they don't beat themselves. There's a reason they're undefeated.
It's not the Sean Taylor show, it's the Redskins' show. It was the Redskins' defense, the Redskins' offense and the Redskins' special teams. There are a lot of guys out there playing their best football right now, that's all I can tell you.
It's not difficult to separate it, ... When I'm here, I'm not worried about anything other than what's going on on the field.
It's swollen pretty good. Hopefully, he'll be able to give us some minutes (tonight).
Other guys are playing a little bit better than him. I think you earn your playing time in practice, and Matt Bush (who made his first start on Friday) has had a really good two weeks of practice and had a good game tonight.
After the East Moline game, I really believe these guys know they can find a way to win. They never believe they're out of it.
That's why we've got judges, we've got trials, we've got people who make decisions (about) what goes on in court, ... I'm not worried about anything. That's something for them to handle.
You're never going to win them all, but our guys have the belief they're going to execute and win some games down the stretch. Hopefully that carries over to the rest of the season.
My dad's been hard on me, my coaches have been hard on me, he's just like that extra father figure. When he relates to us like he expects more, we don't look at it in a negative way and say: 'You know what? I can't do it.' At least he has the confidence in us to say, 'You can do it.' We don't look at it as negative. Sometimes you might get a little down, but you never can look at the bad side.
Like any rivalry, there will be some great games. Fans will enjoy how hard these two teams will play.
Fink is such a good player. He pushes off and makes big threes. He put it on the floor and made big shots. When good players get on a roll, it's hard to stop them.
(Friday night) Galesburg made shots, so we weren't able to get it off the rim and transition it. When we can get it off the rim and in transition, we're a much better basketball team.
For us to win we needed to (capitalize). We needed to have maximum possessions.
He just went out and made some plays.
