fight scrap yard
They make you fight and scrap for every yard you get.
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.
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.
couple difficult instant puts realize special wins
You realize how difficult it is to get 100 wins in this day and age, with the instant gratification and where you have a couple of years to make things happen. It puts you in really special company.
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,
ball baltimore good groups improved personnel pound rough run
Baltimore is very physical. They run the ball very well. they pound it. They've got an improved groups of receivers. Defensively, they do a lot of things. They have very good personnel and they're physical. It's going to be a tough, rough game.
looking played
Actually, I thought the offense, looking at the tape, played better than the defense,
seemed three time took week
After the first one, it wasn't too bad, ... It took a long time to get that first one. After three weeks, it seemed like every week was 10 or 12 days.
developing focused good practice stay talented
I think we have a pretty good team. We're still young, we still do things defensively that need some explanation at times. We play very hard, we practice well, we stay focused and those are all good signs. We have a lot of talented guys, so if you can keep that focus, we should be pretty good. I think we are developing into a good team.
consistent few guys next rushing special weeks whether
I think we have the makings. We have special guys rushing the passer. Whether we can be consistent and do all the other things, that's what the next few weeks will show.
