ball certainly coming gets guy opened
Thornburg is coming up and making some big hits. He's a guy who hustles to the ball and is always around the ball when he gets in the game. He has certainly opened my eyes.
risk risking speaks stay team thinks toughness
To risk what he is potentially risking to want to stay out on the field, that's just the toughness that he has. That really speaks to what he thinks of this team and what he is as a player.
fourth game team understand
We just have to understand that that?s not who we are, ... Who we are is a team that?s usually into the game in the fourth quarter.
until wrecked
We used that until they wrecked one of theirs.
questions
The questions you have are the things we just have to go play through,
five knew last next prepare ready rid season short
You knew this wasn't going to be the season you wanted it to be for the last four, five weeks. As a player, you have to have a short memory. You have to be able to get rid of the sting, prepare in the off-season and come out ready for next year.
coaching turn
We got the personnel, we got the coaching and we got everything we need to turn that thing around,
bounce continued plays whatever year
Those were the plays that used to go our way in the past. But for whatever reason, this year everything continued to bounce away from us.
love
You love to have that on your team.
beat giants guys speculate team whatever worry
We have to worry about the Giants right now. I'm going to let you guys speculate about the playoffs. If we beat the Giants, then we'll worry about whatever team comes on after that.
add anybody ask bring brought guys hopefully hugh locker lost replace room year
When you replace a Jeremiah a year ago and try to replace Hugh this year, we would never ask those guys to be those players. We just ask them to bring what they bring to the table, and hopefully it'll add to what we already have. But I would never say anybody could replace what we lost in Hugh. No one person could ever do that for us. Because what he brought wasn't just on the field, but in the locker room also.
handled peaks
You have peaks and valleys. At the end, after you've handled everything you need to handle in those valleys, you come back up in those peaks. We're at one of the peaks right now.

We definitely expect when he gets in a game for him to make a play. We expect those things from him now.
definitely depend dude guy miss pass rush stopping strong
We definitely miss him. He's a guy we depend on for pass rush and stopping the run. He's a big, huge, strong dude in the middle.
