bad field intentions punish taught
I don't think you can be taught that. It's something that's just in me. When I get on that field, my intentions are to just go out there and try to punish people. Not in a bad way, but that's how I play football.
confidence game guys knew main offense second tonight
We had confidence in the offense and knew they'd play better in the second half. The main thing we were able to do tonight was get some of the young guys game time.
anybody behind percent
He's down. Anybody else would be down. It's disbelief. At the same time, I told him I was 100 percent behind him.
miss
He makes so many big plays, and that's the thing we're going to miss most. He can do a whole lot.
turn
I didn't want to give it up. I really didn't know things were going to turn out like this.
number reason wear
The reason I wear it is to symbolize my brother. He's incarcerated right now. That's the number he wore, and I always wanted to wear it.
bad devastated felt reason sort
The reason I was so devastated is me and him have been through the same thing, sort of. I can feel what he was feeling. I was shocked. Overall, I felt real, real bad for A.J.
games talent won
Now that we're getting drafted, we see what kind of talent we had. We should've won more games with all that talent.
believe break great honest whatever
To be honest with you, I don't believe whatever was said. He's a great person, and I really don't believe he would break the law.
heart mess somebody wishing
Your heart is throbbing. You're just wishing somebody will mess up.
ball disguises few great guys held looks pay threw
The young guys did a great job. I also think we threw a lot of looks and disguises at them. Their quarterback held the ball a few times because he didn't want to make a mistake. When he did, we made him pay for it.
gap kept knew line run work
We knew they weren't going to line it up and try to run it down our throats. They did a lot of misdirection and kept us guessing. We need to go back on work on fundamentals like tackling, getting into your gap and doing your job.
anybody coming
I kind of feel where he's coming from. He's down, of course; anybody would be down. He's devastated. He's in disbelief.
ball broke came coach eyes needed
I read the quarterback's eyes and broke on the ball real quick. Coach said we needed a big play, and I came up with it.
