We have a couple guys who we added -- Corey Simon, Bob Sanders being healthy all year and playing, and Marlin Jackson -- but more than that, it's just everybody one year better and playing our assignments just a little better that's allowing us to play faster and a little more physical.
against beat coming cut deal everybody game hopefully houston landmark playing point practice recognize second short team tough week win work
You don't win championships in September, obviously. You don't win them in Week 8. You don't win them with one game. This is going to be a tough deal for us to come back. Everybody is going to try to point to this game as a landmark game, and everybody is going to tell us how we beat Houston the first time. Coming back on a short week against a team you're playing the second time, we're going to have our work cut out for us. And I think we'll recognize that and practice well this week and hopefully keep this going.
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.

I guess that's good in a lot of ways. But the defending champions are always the team to beat. And that's who everybody is focused on.

When we do what we're supposed to do and execute the play, we've been pretty good on third-and-1 or 2.

With my son's situation and our family, it puts it all into perspective.
critical focus stretch winning
We want to see if we can get that done, ... So our focus is winning the first one. This is a very critical two-week stretch for us.

We've got guys who aren't wrapping guys up, ... No matter how hard you hit them, you've still got to wrap them up.
ball game great special tough
We've got a tough group. You have to do something special to get a game ball from them, but (Smith) did a great job.
anyone calls coach passes personnel thrown wild
With the personnel they have, how coach Fairchild calls plays, those are the wild cards. They've thrown more passes than anyone in the league, and I don't think that's going to change.
ball knew run
We knew they wanted to run the ball and use the clock. Once we got ahead, we were able to not let that happen.
happiness happy looked sure
We're happy for Mike. I don't know what the league's rationale is on it, but I'm sure they looked at all the facts.
anyone blossoming consistent coverage good league pass playing reflection robert rushing
Robert has been as consistent as anyone in this league rushing the passer, ... Cato is blossoming into a really, really good pass coverage linebacker and that's what we thought he could. I think it's really a reflection of how well they're playing right now.
