coach good great hope instant lends love number offense
It lends instant credibility to the Lions. I think he can do a number of good things for their offense and I hope he does it. I love coach Martz. He'll do great things for Detroit.
above average believed belonged football guys owe practice sunday
Our new guys have come in and believed that they belonged from the first day. They practice like it and then they go out there on Sunday and show it. Without those guys, we are an average football team, a little above .500. I think we owe them a lot.
facing game guys intensity picks twice
It picks up. You're facing these guys twice a year. They know you, and you know them, so the intensity is there. It's a game we've got to win.
arguably best game receiver shut smith steve
Steve Smith is arguably the best receiver in the game right now, and we just shut him down completely.
assignment defense good guys might miles per players playing spending study talent team time
I think we might not have as much talent on our defense this year, but I think we have much better team players this year. Guys aren't going out there and freelancing. They're spending more time in film study and playing good assignment defense the only way it should be played, and that's at 100 miles per hour.
coached guys lack last sick turned
You turned on the film and you just got sick from the lack of effort. You had some guys here that couldn't be coached last year, and they're not here now.
assume people
I don't know (what people are saying), and I really don't care. I would just assume keep sneaking up on people.
nick running
Nick Going?s going out really put a damper on their running game.
kindness tough zero
It's kind of tough to say it's all for nothing, but we're back at zero now and we don't have anything to show for it.
crowd focusing
There's really no home-crowd feel to it. Not a lot of energy. But you're really not focusing on the crowd anyway.
coach egos less nice sure
For the coach, I'm sure it's nice to coach when there's a lot less egos on the field.
beginning felt great horrible john love moving ray season sick stepped took
Ray got sick at the beginning of the season and we all felt horrible for Ray because we all love him. But at the same time, you've just got to keep moving on, and John stepped up and took his place and has done a great job.
brought fun guys hard love playing plays question rid team work
There's no question we're playing better team defense. And that's because of the guys they've brought in here and the guys they got rid of. It's a lot of fun again. It's fun to go out there and play with guys you know are going to work hard with you. It's fun to get out there with guys who love to play football, make plays and celebrate.
brought guys reflected team
They really brought in guys that are going to play team football. Guys who are going to put the team before themselves. And I think it's reflected in our practices, our meetings.
