good guy heard hurt playing
I thought the guy did a pretty good job, considering we'd heard he was playing hurt (sore shoulder),
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.
block eye guy
My favorite part is that 1-on-1 matchup... Block out everything else and stare into that guys eyes.
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.
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.
few guy hit quite tough type
He's a tough guy. We hit him quite a few times, but he always popped back up. That should be very encouraging for him. He's not the type of guy you can intimidate.
backup edge great guy hard miss remains replace seen
Obviously, Edge is a great player. We'd miss him, but we understand. It's hard to replace a guy like that. If it happens, it remains to be seen if his backup (Dominic Rhodes) can do the job.
fall guys tackle understand wrap
I understand that we have to really wrap up and tackle this guy. He's not one of those guys that is going to fall on the first touch.
guy tougher
It's not about who the tougher guy is.
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.
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.
winning games long
As long as we win games and I harass the quarterback, however I do it, we're good.
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.
