good tradition
We know about the tradition here and all that good stuff. We've just got to make plays. That's what it comes down to. We know there's a lot of good defenses here in the past, and we feel like we're one of those teams.
anyone beaten games playoffs regular win won
We haven't beaten anyone in the playoffs yet, and that's what we have to do. We've won a lot of big games in the regular season, but we need to win playoff games to get respect.
needed obviously ran work
We never really doubled him. We ran a lot of Cover-2, and obviously that did not work out too well for us. When they needed a play, he made it and we didn't.
chance couple found game gave good lose plays showing start time
We have to play better. If we think we're a good defense, we better start showing it. We didn't make plays when we had to. We gave up a couple of big plays. We had a chance to win the game. We were in the game the whole time and found a way to lose at the end.
watching
If I was someone, I'd do the same to us after watching that film.
bet kid order pair pairs throw
I'll bet I have 250 pairs. I can't throw any away because as a kid we got one pair a year. Now I order 20 pairs at a time.
looked
I haven't even looked at it yet, Mike.
gets knows leader
That's our guy, and everyone knows it. He's our leader out there. He gets us going ? the whole team, not just the defense.
call chance given good great healthy nice opportunity ourselves playoff problem rest sweep time
It's a good problem to have, if you call it a problem. And it is not a problem. Any time you have a chance to get an off week, it's a good thing. We have given ourselves a good opportunity to rest some guys. It would be nice to sweep our division. It would be great to get 12 wins, but so would having everyone healthy for a playoff game.
ball eight face guys moss randy run trying
It's a little different trying to run the ball with eight guys in the box. The Vikings haven't had to face that because of the Randy Moss factor.
ball chance defense score stopping turn
Takeaways, stopping the run, and as long as we don't turn the ball over, I think we'll be OK. If we don't give them a chance to score with their defense on the field, we'll be OK.
easy mean
It's just a different mind-set around here this time. I know that's easy for me to say, but I mean it.
call good great
It was a great hit. The refs didn't call a penalty, so it was a good play.
bad couple last
The last couple of years we got off to bad starts, 0-4, 1-5,
