confuse hard
We try to confuse you as much as we can. I think it's hard for a quarterback.
ball ground huge
You don't know how many times I look back and see the ball skipping on the ground because the quarterback is on his back. That makes a huge difference.
front great half second
We've got a great defense, a great front seven. There's no way we shouldn't play the way we did in the second half every week.
ball came gave guy looked signal
Right before the play started, we looked at each other, gave a little signal to 'in-and-out' those two guys. My guy came in, his guy went out. We switched. The ball came to me.
care far good nobody remembers satisfied super until win
We're going in the right direction, but I'm not satisfied until I get a ring. I don't care how far you get in the playoffs, nobody remembers you until you win the Super Bowl. Obviously, this is good up until this point, but I want things to be a lot better. I want that ring.
people running stop understand
One thing people don't understand is we play different positions. I can't do what he does, and he can't do what I do. That's kind of irrelevant. Who cares? All I know is that we've got to stop the run, and he's their running back.
dominated front second seven
My front seven just dominated the second half, ... Dominated.
attacking blocking corner cover definitely feed game involved line pass running side supposed
One thing you know is that when you cover him, you're going to have to make a lot of tackles. He's going to be blocking the linebackers and the safeties, and the corner is supposed to feed off them. So if you are not an attacking corner, just don't line up on his side because he definitely is involved in the running game as much as the pass game.
finger
There's not one thing that you can put your finger on.
overcome time year
I've never had a year like this, ... This is the first time I've had to overcome this many at one time.
coach core correct guys obviously run
Things are a little different ... The way the organization is run is a lot different, but who's to say the correct way to run it? It's stable. There's not a lot of in and out. You know who the coach is. You know who the core guys are. I thought I was one of the core guys there, but obviously I got out of there.
concerned great help missed players shows sitting team
(The streak) is important and it shows accountability but at the same time, I'm not really concerned with it. There's a lot of great players that have missed a lot of games, so I'm not concerned with that. It's just (that) I want to be out there to help my team win, and I know I can't do anything sitting on the sidelines.
guarantee looking sure wrong
And you look at what you did wrong because I guarantee you they're going to know everything we did wrong. The opportunities they missed. . . . I'm sure they're looking at that.
aware football help risks
They always give you the things that could happen, the risks you take. At the same time, I'm aware of that and I don't really care. I just want to play football and help us win.
