The schemes that they run are very disciplined... very sound, very confident...We know we have to be very focused and very disciplined in all facets of our game if we want to be able to move the football against this bunch.
I've never seen a running back play at the level he plays at. I remember my rookie season, there were times I was supposed to be blocking my guy on the outside and I was watching him.
Things are still bubbly here. It's Week 2. That's (Week 1 game against the 49ers) a game we felt we should have won.
We're already down one in our division. And now we have another division opponent. We have to go in there and fight. To go down two in the division is tough.
We had a lot of great memories with Kurt, those types of things will flash back leading up to the game,
Most important, it allows me upstairs, mentally, to be at ease a little bit.
We didn't execute as well as we should have in the red zone. It goes to show that the best team doesn't always win. I think that we were the better team and the stats showed we were the better team. But (the 49ers) made more plays to win the ballgame.
We need to knock them in the mouth and get some three-and-outs,
I can't make the calls. I have to go by what's called. Coach felt that was the approach he wanted to take in order to give ourselves a chance to win. ... That was his decision and how he felt at the time.
For us to get in the red zone and not capitalize, it's disheartening. That's our job. This week, we want to give our offense the opportunity to score points.
For us to come out and put up 42 points, that's the Rams of old. That's what we're used to doing. It's good to get back on track and put up 42 points again.
I have been saying all along that as long as our offensive line protects the quarterback and the defensive line plays well, this will be a good football team, ... I think we displayed that.
I don't expect anything less. If I have an opportunity to go up against him one-on-one, you best believe I'm going to try to burn him or take him deep and score a touchdown on him.
Thus far, it's been a lot of praise to each other. As the week shortens, I'm sure things will heat upOnce we get out there on the field, I'm sure we'll beef it up a little bit.
