calls executing good job players product puts ray
This really isn't that complicated of a scheme. If we're not a good defense, it's not because of him. Ray Rhodes always puts a good product on the field. If we're not a good defense, it's because we as players aren't executing what he calls and we're not getting the job done out there.
conducive football happening last team
With the team we had last year, I think he did everything he could with that team. There were just some things happening that just weren't conducive to a championship-caliber football team. Those things have been addressed this year, and that's why we're winning.
attention difference exception guys media regular
With the exception of you guys (in the media), it's a regular game. The only difference is the media attention around it.
thoughts until wait
We all have a lot of thoughts about it. We'll keep it to ourselves. We'll wait until we play Phoenix.
whatever
Whatever you do, you just have to be under control.
aware enhance helmet question
Without a question it's the most comfortable, best-fitting helmet that I've ever put on. I'm not even aware I have it on -- and in that way it does enhance my game.
anyone bad blame bowl game losing super
We can't blame this game on anyone but ourselves. Losing the Super Bowl is about as bad as it gets.
affect afraid backside ballgame edge guys plays type
You have to really know who's in the ballgame because that's going to affect what type of plays they're going to run. The guys on the backside really have to keep the edge because Parker's not afraid to take it all the way around the other way.
bunch execute guys sure
We had a bunch of guys out there who weren't really sure what they were doing (last season). We've got a bunch of guys out there right now that are much more responsible to their assignments, and that's why we were able to go out there and execute when we had to.
We really don't know what it's all about. We haven't experienced it, the letdowns and heartbreaks.
cover everybody guys handle job knew people plays position run trick
We knew it going in that they were going to run some kind of trick plays. Guys didn't handle their responsibilities and that's what happens. If everybody plays and does their job out there, you cover those plays and those things don't happen. But people got out of position and it was a big play.
alone dwell last
You can't dwell on those things. We can't dwell on last week, let alone last year.
plays
When Goings went out, that really dampened things for them. Then they have to be one-dimensional and that plays right into our hands.
drives gave work
We still gave up way too many points. We gave up (two touchdown drives of 70-plus yards). We gave up too many big plays. We've still got a lot of work to do.
