biggest coaches guys hard league nice players recognized saw talent
We've got some good, young talent on this team, and it's nice to see they got recognized for their play, because they're not the biggest names. There are a lot of guys out there who probably get more recognition from the media, but these guys go out there and play hard every week, and they put it on film, and the players around the league and the coaches around the league saw that. That's why they're going.
bunch deal equal gave hold lost main points yards
I think we know we are No. 1. I don't think yards equal wins. Yards are big, but points are the main thing that matters. We did not play very well and gave up a bunch of yards and I think we lost our No. 1 status, but points are a big deal and I think we hold that.
anytime except good matters obviously people players realize realizing
People are realizing we have some good players here. Anytime you lose, nothing really matters except winning. ... People realize that when you win, you obviously have some good players on your team.
doubted earn good great people playoffs respect win
We had to win in the playoffs to earn respect and we didn't do that. So all of the people who doubted us, I guess, were right. We may be a good team, but we're not a great team.
bowl boy bring couple cut easy gaps guy pro runs stay sure tackle tried work
Jamal's a house. I tried to tackle him in the Pro Bowl a couple times and he's not an easy guy to bring down. He's a big boy and he runs hard. We've got our work cut out for us. We've got to stay in our gaps and be sure tacklers.

five row
We need to reel off three, four, or five (wins) in a row and go from there.
compared definitely games happy playoffs won
We haven't won any games in the playoffs yet. If we can win, I'll definitely be happy to be compared to them.
easier four green played playoff teams
Look at the teams we played when I was not there - Indy, Minnesota, Green Bay, Philadelphia - that's four playoff teams right there. I don't think it's a significant statistic. We just have to play better when I'm not in there or play easier teams.
happened hated looking top turn wish
I wish it would've happened sooner, because I've hated looking up from the bottom. But it's our turn to be on top for a while now.
bright crap feels good guess hurt side team
It feels like crap right now. Disappointing. But I guess you could look at the bright side and say we're a young team and all that good stuff. It's going to hurt for a while.
gaps happened miss quite
We've just got to be more disciplined. If we get out of our gaps and miss tackles, we're going to get gashed. That happened quite a bit.
flying running
We kind of got after him a little bit. We were flying to the ball, running our gaps.
coming ended guys last next
We were young last time, too, and we ended up being 4-12 the next year. I'd like to think we'll be better next year. We have a lot of guys coming back. ... We're optimistic, but I'm not going to look at that right now.
