adjustment brought came defensive guys job practice ready released sign signed squad tough
When I came to Denver, he was one of the guys I brought up. (The Browns) were going to the 3-4 (alignment); this guy is 6-foot-7 (and) it's going to be tough for him to make the adjustment to be a defensive end, so when they released him, we were ready to sign him, so we signed him to the practice squad and he did an outstanding job for us on the practice squad.
composure corner guys handle hopefully linger ready spot turned younger
Hopefully our younger guys have turned the corner and will be able to handle this. It's only one week. We've got to keep our composure and let it go. You let this one linger too long and then we're not ready for Dallas. Then we're right back to the same old spot we've been in. We're better, but we've got to keep improving. We're not there yet.
adjustment defense packing parker ready team
It's one thing when you play a team with a big back and it's going to be him packing that thing 40 times. You get ready for it. But they only give you Bettis for 15 and Parker for 25. That's a big adjustment the defense has to make.
believe message night ready saw sends staying takes time whatever work worked
It sends the message that he's ready to work and do whatever it takes to win. Him staying up all night scouting, we can believe in him because he's got our backs. The first time I saw that, when he worked out with us, it was great, because we're all in this together.
anyone ball best career played playing
I think he's played the best ball he's played in his career this year. I think he's playing as well as anyone in the league.
cover guys hanging open tough
J.J. makes a lot of open 3's and off of picks. C-Lo just discourages defenses because guys will be hanging all over him, and he's still going to make it. He's a tough cover for anybody.
helps rhythm sacrifice starting team
Starting just helps me get into a rhythm faster. But anything this team needs, I'll sacrifice and do.
arena bring came fill goals
That was one of my goals, to fill up the arena and bring it back to the Ernie and Bernie days. That's why I came to Tennessee.
beat feels florida hard kentucky nation teams win
It feels really good. We wanted to beat teams like Florida and Kentucky in the SEC, but we also want to win championships. To be No. 8 in the nation is hard to believe.
teams worked
We've done it more than most teams I've worked with.
far hard plays
He's going to play hard and compete, and that's all I want. How it all plays out as far as tackles and pressures, I don't know. But I know if he's on the field, he's going to give me everything he's got.
cause game tempo
We try to get the tempo going with our press. It isn't just to cause turnovers. We want to get the game going up and down... try to get them running.
guys kept knew
But we knew they were tough. Those guys just kept coming. It was like they thought they should win.
buys cleveland denver everybody great guys hype nobody people sat truly
If these guys couldn't play, they wouldn't be here. And I think that's what people forget. Everybody buys into the hype that comes out of the Cleveland media, and nobody here in Denver has truly sat back and evaluated the situation. If they did, they'd say it's a great thing Denver did.
