ask helped talk team though tried veterans
Even though we really don't see each other as much as we'd like, we talk a lot, probably once a week. We helped each other out as a rookie: 'What are you seeing? What's going on here?' You're a little intimidated and you don't want to ask the veterans on your own team questions. We kind of tried to help each other out that way.
accept against anywhere best covered defense difference entire gave good near night nobody played struggled team teams
Nobody gave up. That's the difference between this team and teams from the past. We are not going to accept 'no.' We did not play anywhere near our best game. The defense played their butts off for the entire night against a very good offense, and we struggled a little bit. We covered for each other, and that's what a team does.
coming plays team
This team is really coming together, making plays for each other.
defense hearing people proved team teams worst wrong
We'd been hearing that our team had the worst defense of the 12 teams that made the playoffs. They proved people wrong today. Can you play any better than that?
everybody kindness line playing shows team thank tied
Everybody is kind of playing for each other and when Shaun got his 27th touchdown and tied the record, his first thing was to come over to the line and kind of thank us. It just kind of shows how this team is a little different.
physical played scrap teams
They were one of the most physical teams I've ever played against. It was a big scrap in there.
conference everybody fairly prior reached seemed success talking team
It's a fairly young franchise. And it really hasn't had much postseason success prior to this year. Everybody was talking about it. That seemed to be the big news. The ('83) team reached the conference championship. I was 7, 8 years old then.
against beat defense game great guys hump last played playoff rated redskins streak team teams winning won worst
A lot of the guys on this team got over the hump after winning against the Redskins last week. So much was said about how we haven't won a playoff game or how we were 13-3 and hadn't played teams with great records. Our defense is probably the worst rated of the 12 teams in the playoffs. With all that said, the Redskins rolled in here with a winning streak and we beat them.
experts playoffs teams worst
Going into the playoffs, the so-called experts said that there were 12 teams in the playoffs and out of everyone, we had the worst defense. Well, you can't play any better than that, can you?
player supposed team
What else is he supposed to say, 'We're going to try and lose? Every player is supposed to think his team is going to win.
line shows team thank
His first thing was to come over to the line and kind of thank us. It just shows you how this team is a little different.
cutting defense force honestly overload pay run secret teams
It's not a big secret that we like to run left. Because of that, other teams are going to overload to that side. But Shaun can see that and make the defense pay by cutting it back. Shaun single-handedly a lot of times will force the defense to play it honestly because of the cutback.
cold hopefully middle playing rainy teams weather
Hopefully some of the teams that aren't use to playing in cold and rainy weather have to come out here in the middle to end of January.
pride
I've been blessed. I pride myself on my motivation.
