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.
defensive definitely excited game given guys happen hooking knowing love player receiver type waiting
That's something special, to have the type of quarterback that Donovan is and to have the type or receiver that Terrell is. For those guys to keep hooking up game after game, and to go into every game knowing that is potentially a touchdown waiting to happen at any given point, as a defensive player you love that. I'm definitely excited for those guys and the way they've been able to click.
cause collins guy hard knowing people routes run seem stuff
You could see the frustration in his eyes, ... ... knowing Collins would probably go in a different direction. You look for that kind of stuff on film, for the frustration in a guy that would cause him to not run routes as hard or seem as enthused. People look for a lot of things in T.O. That's not one of them.
defense exactly hit jim knowing taken trying understand wants wrong
You have to have something a little wrong with you to play defense. You're going in there knowing you are going to have to hit somebody. So you do have to have the mind-set to want to do it. I think we have taken that mind-set to a different level. We understand exactly what Jim wants from us. I think we're trying to take this thing to another level. We are trying to be one of the best, if not the best, defense to play for this organization.
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.
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.
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.
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.
