lying winning years
It's not an issue. Everyone's focused on us trying to get a victory. That's where the focus lies. ... We're trying to win a game. Who cares about that (other stuff). If we'd played 'em two years ago when it happened, maybe it would be different.
finished goes product
It's real life. It's interesting to see the guts, not just the finished product but what goes in and out.
ahead fans pumps
The fans are really into it and it kind of pumps you up. And if you get ahead of them, you can look back at them and say, 'ha, ha.
nice pass scheme understanding
It's nice to come back and have an understanding of what we're doing. The new scheme really shored up our defense. But we still need to get better on pass defense.
hitting issue might played takes trying whatever
It's not an issue, ... If we'd played him a year-and-a-half ago it might have been an issue. Right now, the issue for us is trying to get a win. We're 0-2. I'm all about whatever it takes for us to win, and if that's hitting Eli Manning in the mouth, then we'll hit him in the mouth.
either good knows last start stay team won
Everyone knows were a good team. We're the same team we were last year. We could have won either one of these games. I think everyone will stay positive. We started 1-2 last year. We're right there. We just have to start making plays.
exactly knows last mind remember
Everyone knows exactly what it's all about now. Especially with us losing, you learn. I think in the back of everyone's mind they remember last year.
against bottom good lick line mean playing win
I always want to get a good lick on the quarterback, but it really doesn't mean anything to us right now that we're playing against Eli. The bottom line is that we need to get in the win column.
above college discredit face guys himself nfl played rise sacrificed slap stepped thats tries
I still feel the same way, ... Its a slap in the face to the NFL when someone thats in college tries to put himself above the NFL and above the NFL (Players Association) and what we established and what all the guys who sacrificed that played before me and before him, before he stepped on the field,to rise up and try to be better than that, is a discredit to the guys that played this game.
beat kansas knows lost
He knows how to beat these guys. Even in Kansas City, we never lost to them. He has the ingredients.
against bigger cuts excited guys small tough
I'm excited to see how he does. He's small but he can go out and play against the bigger guys and be tough about it. His cuts are unbelievable. You don't want to overrun him. He can make it tough on a lot of defenders.
ask exact good guys larger questions school sit stuff
It was good to sit there and ask them questions about the stuff that they are doing and what we are doing and about their school as well. We do the exact same thing you guys are doing in this program, just on a larger scale.
against front gets hard heck lose offensive short tend
The hard part in going against him is against the run, ... He's so short he gets lost. I tend to lose him sometimes with the big offensive linemen in front of him. They get in front of him and you're like, 'Where the heck did he go?'
care focus games opportunity sack trying
The focus should be on us trying to get a victory. We're trying to get to 1-2. We let two games slip. I don't care who's back there, if I get an opportunity to sack the quarterback, I'm going to sack the quarterback.
