lead percent team tied trying
I am going to play at 100 percent because I am trying to lead the team in sacks, too. I am tied with Trevor and some other guys, so I have something to play for.
chains clock completing downs felt hurt keeping moving passes percentage third
They really hurt us. I don't know what their percentage was, but it felt like 80 percent. During those third downs they were just completing those passes and keeping the chains moving and keeping the clock moving.
league loss seven
I'm at a loss for words. I've been in the league seven years and I've never experienced anything like it before.
field goal happen
I've never had it happen on a field goal before.
astute point puts smart stuff throw wants
Shanahan is more like an astute guy, a thinker. Right to the point when you get that stare. When you get that it's over, you can throw all that smart stuff out the window. When he puts the beams on you, you'll do what he wants every time.
drop fine hopefully instead last point pressure rush saying scheme year
Hopefully we can rush the passer a little more and not drop (into coverage) as much. The one down point of last year was everyone saying that we couldn't get enough sacks or pressure on the quarterback. Hopefully with a little fine tuning to our scheme we'll have a little more opportunities to rush the passer instead of dropping.
corners help pressure trying versa vice work
I think that's one thing we still have to really work on is trying to get four-man pressure on the quarterback, so the linebackers can help the corners or vice versa in coverage, ... That's something we're still trying to work on, and we're going to keep working on it so we can alleviate some of the pressure on the linebackers.
lying
I'd be lying to you if I said that it's just another game. It really isn't.
happens pile
It happens in the pile all the time,
careful flag great hit might
I'd better be careful with what I say; I might get fined by the league, but that flag was just so late. I thought it was a great hit by John.
candidate defensive matters november
He's my candidate for defensive MVP, because what matters is how you play in November and December.
carried decided field frustrated guess happened incomplete missed saw third totally whoever
The third down even before that play happened was incomplete and you could tell they were totally frustrated and dejected and I think that carried over into that fourth-down field goal. He saw his kicker missed it, and I guess he decided to take it out on whoever was there.
fed room week
We fed off each other because we were competitive. Week in and week out we'd go in the film room and find out who had the most tackles and assists and sacks.
compete competition feed
We feed off each other. We have our own competition every day. We compete for sacks, and we compete for tackles. We have that bond.
