last mindset players took week
Last week, we were 9-4, but you could have swore we were 4-9. That's the mindset our players took and our coaches, too. We didn't play well last week and we wanted to come back and answer.
continue dominant easier hopefully last left ready season smart struggled teams trying weeks
Look at Washington: They were so dominant two weeks ago and then they struggled last week. You have to be ready every week. Hopefully, we can be one of the better teams in the N.F.L. But that's easier said than done. If we continue working the way we are and trying to play smart football, hopefully we can be one of those teams. But there's still a lot of season left to be played.
across country fight short week win
To come across the country on a short week to win and fight back the way we did, ... it was pretty nice.
against division five good intensity last match played quarters ready shoe tampa trying week win wire
Hey, if the shoe was on the other foot, we'd like nothing more than to keep someone from our division from making the playoffs. That's what it's about. You're trying to win games. We know it's going to be tough. They played five quarters last week and went down to the wire against Tampa Bay, and they're going to come out ready to play against us. We just have to match that intensity and try and do some good things.
believe carry cocky confident football hard hopefully starting team week work
I think this team was confident going into week one. We're a team that is confident, but not a cocky football team. We work hard and we believe that we'll go out and play well on Sundays. It's starting to carry over now, so hopefully we'll keep it up.
good great guy help including knows players playing telling week
I'm telling you, this guy we have playing for us this week is going to do a great job. He knows what to do. He knows how to do it. Hopefully, the players around him, including myself, can help him have a good game.
couple decisions defensive early ears football fun great job largely line pin points throw
It happened. They did a great job that game. Certainly, we spotted them 10 points early on largely in part to a couple of important decisions by me. Certainly, we had to play catch-up from then on. And when you have to throw the football and the defensive line can just pin their ears back and go, it's not a fun day sometimes.
saw seen
I saw No. 27 on him. I hadn't seen it all day because there's not many times you get one-on-one.

I saw (Thompson) was covering him -- when I saw that I gave him a signal that I wanted to go there. Steve put on the burners and took off.
covering game gave saw seen
I saw 27 was covering him. I hadn't seen that all game long. So I gave him a little signal.
anyone bit nice rod starting
Rod is starting to play a little bit more; it's nice to get anyone involved.
almost eyes hurt talking year
Just talking to some of those guys, you could almost kind of see hurt in their eyes because it's been a long, long year for them. We have no idea what they've had to go through.
early
We couldn't get much going and some turnovers early killed us.
block couple football hits love sees
Stephen has unbelievable vision. That's why the lineman love to block for him. If he sees it, he hits it. There's no hesitation. He hits it and goes. Look what he did a couple of years ago. If we can get him back, he makes us a better football team.
