crazy defense finally gone guess offense people since uptight
Ever since I've been here, people have gone crazy over our offense and said that our defense sucks, ... Well, guess what? We're making strides. The crazy thing is, now that the defense is finally balling, everyone's uptight because the offense hasn't been clicking.
carry defense front load pass rush thinking
This defense is really predicated on getting a pass rush from the front four. When we go into the week, we're not thinking we have to carry the load. We carry the load every week.
defense designed front pass rice rush tampa
This defense is really predicated on getting a pass rush from the front four. It's designed like Tampa Bay's with (Simeon) Rice and (Warren) Sapp.
defense near nowhere ongoing transition
It's an ongoing transition to become the defense we want to be. We're nowhere near where we need to be.
forward free move opportunity owner sees signed
I was like, 'What, we signed a free agent?' ... It's big. I think the owner (Jim Irsay) really sees the opportunity to move forward here and make that push.
basically flat guy last playing turn
Just turn on the film of the last game. We basically dominated, physically. You see a guy flat on his back, we're playing physical.
bit games
Some games you're on, some games you're not as on, you're a little bit off.
trying use doubters
I'm going to prove the haters and doubters wrong. I like when the doubters try to say that I'm (not still) elite or that I'm too old. I'll use that.
block eye guy
My favorite part is that 1-on-1 matchup... Block out everything else and stare into that guys eyes.
winning games long
As long as we win games and I harass the quarterback, however I do it, we're good.
pride play guy
I want to play my best, day in and day out. It's a pride thing for me. I'm going to go out there and dominate the guy I'm playing against every time.
sports winning nba
Of all the things in sports, getting a sack is one of the hardest things to do. It's like a last-second, game-winning shot in the NBA. A guy hits the last-second shot, and the fans scream. For us (defensive ends), the sack is everything. It's hard to get there. But once you do, there's nothing like it.
consistent reason talk
There is no reason we can't be elite. But let's not talk too soon. We have to have a consistent thing going on before we say we're right where we need to be.
blitz drop everybody four front good guys pressure
We didn't blitz a whole lot. We usually don't have to because we get good pressure from the guys up front. Our idea was to put as much pressure on him with our front four and drop everybody else back into coverage.
