stuff
There's a lot of stuff we need to correct.
The guy's unbelievable. He made a lot of plays.
ball guys
We play hard, we take the ball away and the No. 1 thing is we get to the quarterback and we get to the ball. When the ball is on the ground, we usually have a lot of guys around it.
equal main points yards
We know we are No. 1. Yards don't equal wins. Yards are big, but points are the main thing that matters.
eight guys kept pressure seven three
They kept a lot of guys in and only had two or three out on the routes. We thought we would get pressure with four, and they kept seven or eight in to block.
We don't give up a lot of yards, just too many big plays.
against doubt fun healthy knock love matter mind people personnel pick prove season stayed staying training
I love when people pick against us because we just go out and prove them wrong. In training camp, there was no doubt in anyone's mind we had the personnel to do it. It was just a matter of staying healthy and going out there and doing it. Knock on wood, we stayed healthy, and it's been a fun season for us so far.
defense good plays start stepping stop thinking
We have to stop thinking we're a good defense and start stepping up and do it. Two plays killed us. No excuses.
good ourselves pressure protect stop
The No. 1 thing is you have to be able to protect the quarterback, ... If we put pressure on him and stop the run, we'll put ourselves in some good situations.
ball bouncing great plays unless
That was unbelievable. It was awesome. I've never been a part of something like that. The game's usually over unless you get some great plays like we did, but the ball was bouncing our way that year.
ball beat ended learned playoff remember run stop time turned win
I don't want to go through that again. We got beat up in that game. We couldn't stop the run, we couldn't run the ball, and we turned the ball over. I don't want to remember that game, it ended so badly. We weren't the same for a long time after that. We learned that we've got to play a lot better to win playoff games.
ball bunch flew good loose rid tackled turned
Rivera turned us loose today, ... He called a bunch of blitzes -- they worked. We got a bunch of pressure, and when he did get rid of the ball we tackled the guys. We flew around and had a good time.
best experts hear team
I hear so-called experts say Carolina's the best team in the NFC. Well, let's see if they're right.
ball chance nice rolling
It would be nice to give us a chance to get the ball rolling and get a little confidence.
