That's one thing we've been concentrating on. Mine's awful. A lot of guys are working on it.
It was definitely a big stop and we needed it. Those were the kind of plays I made all last year, and it feels good to make them now.
It's tough. I'm sad to see him go.
It's awful. Every time we lose it's awful. When you lose one you felt like you should have won it makes it that much worse. These are opportunities we keep letting slip. These are the type of games that come back to haunt you.
I think the people of New York have done a pretty great job with coming together for Sandy relief.
We definitely talked about it. We know that we've been letting down games and leads in the third quarter. That was one of the emphases for us: We've got to come out and press the lead.
They get the respect, but they do cry a lot.
At first it was kind of tough because we've been together about it all.
As long as we compete like we're on the outside looking in, we'll be fine; no team in this league can be taken lightly. I'm going to continue to guarantee it. My mind's not going to change.
Coach pretty much addressed us and told us we needed to step it up. We kind of took that to heart. A lot of it we've been getting in extra on our own. It's really been great.
We talked at halftime that we have had letdowns in the third quarter. So our emphasis in the third quarter was just to come out and push the lead.
I know I am a big part of the team. When I've stepped up, it seems like everyone else has stepped up in these last few games.
I definitely knew he was who they were going to. The game dictates when you have to step up and make a big play. It was great team effort. That's what we need to win games.
He told me he was going to make me swallow my mouthpiece.
