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.
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.
athletes best guys kept team
We had some guys before who weren't team players. The 53 guys we kept may not have been the best 53 athletes but we're the best 53 team players.
anybody cares matter team
He's just venting when he leaves. It doesn't matter what he says. We're a different team this year, and I don't think anybody really cares about what he said.
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.
chance cut given guys number signed stars teams
We have a number of guys who have been cut by other teams we signed off the street. Guys who were not given a chance in other organizations to play. These guys come in and have been stars for us.
chance cut decided given guys number picked powers starters talent team teams whatever
We have a number of guys on this team that have been cut by other teams that really we picked up off the street, guys that weren't given a chance in other organizations to play, for whatever reason. The powers that be decided they didn't have the talent to play at this level, and these guys have come in and been starters for us.
early entire force game rendered running sets team time tone useless
Their running game was rendered useless early on. Any time you can force a team to be one-dimensional, it sets the tone for the entire game.
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.
control feet pump run rushing
Just be under control when you're rushing the passer. When he pump fakes, you've got to keep your feet and just run right through him.
careful engine gets kurt pressure shots takes
Kurt is the engine in that offense. He makes them go. We wanted to get to him. We wanted to get shots on him. Because Kurt, when he gets a little pressure on him, when he takes some hits, he's not as careful with the football.
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.
complete football league second win
We had yet to come out and play well in the second half, offensively or defensively. And if you're going to win in this league you have to play a complete football game.
guys ready
I think guys are going to be very ready to play this week.
