bowls defense seen super teams win wins
I've seen teams win Super Bowls like that. Defense wins championships in this league, and I don't see why we should be any different.
brian defense either leader sure thomas
Brian is the leader of the No. 1 defense in the league. You can go either way, and I'm sure Brian would say Thomas Jones, but he's right at the top.
amount defense defensive definitely plays
Everything is going to come down to what defense plays the best, and which is going to make the least amount of mistakes. It's definitely going to be a defensive struggle.
beginning camp defense playing since talked trying whoever
I think that's big because we've always since the beginning of camp talked about trying to be the No. 1 defense in the league. So whoever is playing has got to try to live up to that.
almost ball defense games images mirror playing solid teams turn winning
Teams have been able to get after them. We're kind of in the same situation. We're almost mirror images of each other. The offenses haven't probably been doing as well as they want to, and the defenses have been playing solid and they've been winning on defense the games that they've won, same with us. What they're going to give us, we're going to give them. We just can't turn the ball over.

everybody lead playoffs prove
I think the way I go, the D-line goes. That is the way I have to think about it. Everybody on the D-line has to think that way. But me, that is how I think. I feel like I have to play well, especially in the playoffs -- in this three-game run. I have to prove my worth. I have to lead out there. It's not just statistics, it's doing the right things.
backs came convinced defensive four front played
That's when I was kind of convinced we had something special. The front four were able to get after the quarterback. The defensive backs played well. The linebackers played well. It kind of came together.
credit goes
It's not about spectacular numbers, it's about being steady. Not enough credit goes out to him.
ability
On paper, we have the ability to be a top-three defense. That's on paper. Now we have to go out and do it.
everybody expect faith gap position
Everybody has faith in everybody else that everybody is going to be in their position and be in their gap and make the play. The linebackers expect us to be somewhere, and we expect the linebackers to be somewhere.
