advantage crazy everybody happen hope opportunity played position
It's just crazy to think as long as I've played and not ever had the opportunity to be in the position we're in. That's something I hope everybody realizes, that it doesn't happen that often. So when it does happen, you have to take advantage of it.
brown corner coverage crazy defense definitely guys playing putting schemes selfish whatever
If you look at it, they're definitely not selfish people. Whatever it takes. Troy Brown playing defense is a little more crazy than putting a corner at safety, but it's not that much different. They know the coverage schemes and where everybody's got to be. But they've got a lot of guys that are interchangeable.
earlier face noticed played strong
And they're all just strong guys. That's one thing you noticed right away when we played them earlier this year. You have to get in there, face up and go strong or they are just going to get you out of the way.
finally finished game team
We finally finished a game and put a team away.
believes fired mike people practice truly
Mike has a way of really getting people going ... just getting people fired up. I think that he truly believes that you practice like you play, so you have to go out and practice well.
front gotten looks people
It looks like up front they've just gotten after people so bad.
appeal talked
They said I was late. Everyone I talked to said I should appeal and I will.
base bunch confusion create defensive great guys line multiple teams
They're pretty base in what they do. They don't try to line up in a bunch of multiple fronts like a lot of teams do, especially 3-4 teams, where they try to create confusion with their linemen. They've got great run-support safeties who come up and make plays. Their linebackers and defensive line are physical. These guys line up and play football.
everywhere guys heady passing situations strong
They're all strong guys, physical, smart, heady players. They do a lot of different stuff, at times, especially in some passing situations - they'll have guys everywhere . . . sometimes it's just crazy.
anybody discount football good great people tried
They're a great football team; I don't think that anybody ever said that they weren't or tried to discount that. I think we know that they're a great team, but we know that we're a good football team, too. Not a lot of people give us a lot of credit, but that's fine. We're just going to go out and play football.
coming couple past seen
You've seen it coming the past couple weeks.
breaks collective entire guy
There wasn't one thing, but a collective effort. When one guy breaks down on offense, the entire play is shot.
ball camp excuse great miami run throughout training until
There was no excuse for it. We'd run the ball great throughout training camp and the preseason until the Miami game.
coach ends importance means red role threats tight
Coach Brewster was at a place where tight ends were big threats in the red zone. He emphasizes the importance of the role of the tight end in the red zone, so we know what it all means to an offense's success.
