aaron credit football hard hat hear known lines misses next players plays smith stuff takes toughest work
Aaron Smith does so much stuff that he doesn't get credit for. He's one of the toughest football players I've known in my life. He never misses practice. He takes his hard hat to work every day, never complains, just does his job. You don't hear him whining. He just lines up and plays the next snap.

ball biggest chance difference field game gets hold offense past plays runs sit takes walk zone
The difference in this game is we made very big plays, the biggest plays you can make when there was a chance to make big plays. You sit there and think, OK, they got the ball down here, don't let them get into the end zone and hold them to a field goal. Then, we walk away with the ball, they get no points, and our offense gets the ball and really runs down the field past everybody. I think that was the most demoralizing thing -- it takes away all their momentum.

You just try to step up and do something, ... And get the ball out when I could.
game half outside pressure
But it's just like any other game -- we're the outside linebackers. That's half our job. Sometimes we got to put pressure on the quarterback, sometimes we got to cover.
