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.
length minutes
You've got to play 40 minutes with us the whole length of the floor. If you can't do that, it's going to be trouble.
pushed quickness
I'm not getting pushed around as much, and I still have the quickness I've always had.
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.
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.
helps rhythm sacrifice starting team
Starting just helps me get into a rhythm faster. But anything this team needs, I'll sacrifice and do.
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.
dominate game knew separate
We knew this was a big game and that's why we wanted to dominate underneath. I think we just wanted to separate ourselves.
