consistent games lost stayed
We have been through so much as a team, all those big games that we have lost and the way that we have been able to rebound. The thing that has always been consistent with us is that we have always stayed hungry.
against consistent game gave instead letting mental mistakes plays point pressure step teams trying
There were a lot of things. We were not able to get that consistent pressure that we wanted to get; teams have been doing different things against us and we have not made plays either. We have made mental mistakes and I think it got to a point where we were trying to do things instead of letting the game come to us. We were trying to step up and make a play and then we gave up a play.
consistent defense everybody guys help plays team
That still irks me, ... But for the most part I think I have been able to be consistent and make plays for this team to help guys out and get everybody in the right place, as well as getting this defense in the right direction.
I think we're a lot different from a lot of teams,
playing
I think we just got back to doing the things that we do as a defense. That?s playing downhill.
case couple enjoy preparing ready team turn
I see a team that's ready to turn this thing around. I could sense guys' going out and preparing to enjoy this game. I don't know if that was the case the first couple games.
year
You always say the sky's the limit. But we kind of know what we can do, and this year we're going to set out to do it.
worry
We can't worry about the playoffs. We have to worry about the Giants.
kinda throw wanting
Really, I was kinda wanting for them to throw to him more.
almost answering hearing hearts joy phones saw tears walked
I was almost in tears when I walked in there and saw that I was going to be a part of that, answering the phones and hearing the joy in peoples' hearts as they were giving.
far great guy knowing prepared says
Knowing what I know now about him I wouldn't go there, no way. Just be prepared for whatever. He's a great guy as far as a person goes, but he says what's on his mind, so you've got to be prepared for whatever.
best
I would say, the way I've started, that this is the best I've played,
air grab happened pick toss
Just pick one. I'll just toss them all in the air and you grab one. There were so many things that happened this year, it's been ridiculous.
confidence game hopefully losing mentality nasty releases rest start taste winning
Winning does something to you. It releases something in you, it's confidence and you get that nasty taste of losing out of your mouth. You get that losing mentality out of your system. That first game is going to be critical. Once we get that first game, hopefully it will be this week, we can start doing what we need to do for the rest of the season.
