dominating establish ourselves pressure trying
We just wanted to come out and establish ourselves with some three-and-outs and get some pressure on the quarterback. We're trying to get to be a dominating defense.
bowl came laughed pro talk year
We just had a talk at the Pro Bowl I think the year after he came back. We kind of laughed it off. It was just part of the game.
dirt dug good halftime putting top
We went in at halftime and it was 20-3. We dug the hole, and at that point, we're pretty good at putting you in and putting the dirt on top of you.
best plain seen woody
I've seen Russ Hochstein block, and he can't, so this is a mismatch, plain and simple. Damien Woody was the best lineman they had.
basically drive except handed last
Except for that last drive (on which the Patriots went up 30-13) we basically handed it to them.
against base defense guys knock lining simple
The thing with lining up in our base (4-3) defense is they know what you're in, but I'm better than you. No knock against (the 3-4). Some guys play it real well. That's just not my strength. It's as simple as that.
case crucial good loss picasso ugly win within
I've always said I'll take the ugly win to the Picasso loss any day of the week. It's within our grasap. If we were being out-physicaled or just weren't good enough, that would be the discouraging part. But that's not the case with this ballclub. We're just having lapses at crucial times.
ask defense playing team whatever
I've always been a team player. Whatever they ask me to do I was going to do. It wasn't what I was used to and it wasn't playing to my strengths, but it was what the defense called for.
against face less point potent snaps third three year
was a point of emphasis. If we can get off on third down, that's three less snaps we've got to face against these potent offenses we're going to see all year long.
none
You know what, none of what he's done has been all that bad,
talk
Without making plays, I've got nothing to talk about,
knew
We knew we had to get him on the ground. He's special. I'll tell you that.
among best cut expected shoot stay
It's not so much what's expected of you, because you always shoot for the moon, and if you miss, you're among the stars. I expect nothing but the best from all of us. But you have to have a little luck, stay a little healthy. But if we get the opportunities, we should be able to cut some heads.
felt glad people specialize
It's better in the four-man, I've always felt that way. Some people specialize in the 3-4 but we're better in the 4-3 and I'm glad we're where we're at.
