adapted atlanta good hustled
They got cut(-blocked) at first, but once they got adapted to that and got a feel for how Atlanta was blocking, they showed up and hustled around and did some good things.
difficult felt game gets guy helmets monitor offence team unlike
They felt they can only give you one helmet, because unlike offence with the quarterback, it's difficult to monitor which helmets are in the game (defensively). Or if the guy gets hurt, a team would be without it and at a disadvantage.
backs ball coming defensive fast flow man played playing terms three
They are playing the way they played three years ago in terms of just pressuring the passer and playing a lot more man coverage. I think once those young defensive backs get in a flow in things and get a feel for how fast the ball is coming out, they are going to be even better,
certainly guy
You don't think a guy like that is going to become available, certainly without compensation. It's really kind of staggering.
best game might since standpoint
This might be the best game we've ever had from that standpoint since I've been here,
careful game half
It's just one game at the end of the first half of our season, ... We've got to be careful we don't look at it as more than that.
balls generally guys knew martin plays situation throw
It's just that guys were very focused. We knew where a lot of the balls would go, and once we got into a situation where Martin had to throw and try to make some plays ... that's when you generally get the interceptions.
beat guarantee guys last lost pittsburgh week year
I told our guys that Pittsburgh beat them last year and lost to them in the playoffs. Week 8 doesn't guarantee us anything.
beat eight guarantee guys last locker pittsburgh regular season week year
I told our guys in the locker room, Pittsburgh beat these guys (Patriots) last year in the regular season and couldn't do it in the playoffs. Week eight doesn't guarantee anything.
focused good tough
They're just really focused in. We're good enough, talent-wise, that when we're not making mistakes, we're tough to defend.
confident everybody gets offense points score scoring situations wrong
There's been times where we've been 2-1 and scoring a lot of points and everybody says, 'What's wrong with the defense?' ... I think when our offense gets into situations when we have to score and play up-tempo, I'm pretty confident we'll be able to score.
elbow exactly injury sure taken
It's more the elbow than the shoulder. We're not sure exactly what it is, but it's not an injury to be taken lightly.
biceps guess injury pain period
It's a biceps injury that he can play with, ... I guess it's a pain issue, but it's not anything that's threatening to keep him out for a long period of time.
good means players
It will be a milestone for me, personally. It means I've been in good organizations, been around good players and we've been pretty consistent.
