accept aspect ball bottom control deal dealt extremely focusing goes great guys line lying nature nine positive shows team
I don't control where the quarterback goes with the ball or when my play is called, so the bottom line is being positive and focusing on the team aspect and I've been conditioned over my nine years to do that. But it's extremely frustrating; I'd be lying if I told you anything otherwise. But its just the way it is. It's the nature of the beast, and that's what shows a great team: when you have guys who can acknowledge that, accept that, and deal with what they are dealt with.

I see an old guy that still has got it,
games three won
We won three games like that. And sometimes those games go the other way.
defend defensive everybody good mean minutes missed pressure shots throughout together
Throughout the 40 minutes we've at least got to put together some good defensive stretches. The shots they missed were because they missed, we didn't pressure anybody. As a whole we need to defend everybody and get some stops, I mean they shot 120 percent.

When it came down to the end of the game they kind of got soft, ... because they thought we were out of the game.
ball contested defense dropped fire hit playing
He was on fire the whole night. He didn't hit very many contested shots, we just weren't playing any defense on him, especially me. I really dropped the ball defensively.

He has this ability to sit back there with all this commotion going on and just stay focused. I'm not talking about focusing on one guy. He spreads it around. He's going to hit the open guy. You can't defend that.
complement consistency
We've got to go out there and show some consistency. We've got to show that we're going to be able to complement our defense.
glass knows needs pressure supportive
He knows the magnifying glass is on him right now. We have to be very supportive of him right now. There is a lot of pressure on him. He needs to make those throws.
challenge england expected felt guys note rookie seemed team telling
I was telling the guys that I felt like a rookie all over again, ... It's just a whole new atmosphere. It seemed like in New England everything had become normal, because we're just expected to win. And this is a whole new challenge -- getting this team off on the right note -- and just to be a part of that is exciting.
bottom brought east expects line ourselves struggled year
No one expects us to do anything in the NFC East this year. Everybody's negative, and we've kind of brought it on ourselves because we've struggled in the past. But the bottom line is it's a new year - everybody's even.

chances coach far guys relationship sure
Different guys have different things that they're going to do. I'm not really sure as far as what everybody's doing. You have to see who the coach is. Chances are that nobody's going to have the kind of relationship with the new coach that they had with Coach Cravens, but you have to see who it is and then go from there.
best difference expect good opportunity start step
Hopefully, that's the start of good things to come, ... I expect to have my best performances here in Washington. I feel like they're going to give me an opportunity to go out there and be a difference maker, and that's a step in the right direction.
