unit
We're more of a unit this season; that's why we're better,
kept looked people stopped
We stopped the run, we stopped the pass, we kept people out of the end zone, ... but yet we still get looked down upon.
happened injuries
For me, what happened this year, with this team, with all the injuries and stuff, I can't put too much into it.
found four seven three
If that's the case, why did it take seven years? It would have been three years or four years into it that they found out what we're doing offensively and defensively. I think that has more to do with our play. You have to put two and two together.
handled since situation
He's handled it the way he's handled every situation since I've been here.
allow pass plays pressure sit
He has the receivers to make the plays downfield like they've been doing. We want to get the pressure like every other quarterback, but in particular, you have to be able to get to this guy. You can't allow him to just sit back there and pass the ball.

coming game reason starts talked tough win
We can go out and win every game. We talked about winning; it starts with the first game. We have another tough game coming up and I see no reason why we can't win that one.
games lost
We've been through so much before as a team, all those big games that we have lost and the way that we have been able to rebound,
ball field hold matter mind
But that shouldn't matter to us. If they get the ball on the 30-yard line, our mind-set is we should still hold them to a field goal.
gone hate somebody work year
I hate to go because somebody has gone down with an injury, but being the first alternate, that happens. This is something that I work for each and every year and I never take it for granted. It's an honor.
box continue randy run safety sit top
If they are able to run the ball, we can't continue to do what we did with me kind of going to Randy and being over the top some of the time. You can't continue to do that. You have to be able to put a safety in the box to help. But because they were able to do what they did up front, we can just sit back there.
bring care goes players
I don't care who we bring in here or what players we have, everything goes through him,
game happen knows next time
We take it day to day. Who knows what will happen any time - now, next week, before Game 5?
