ball create hard knew moving offense time took
We didn't create enough ball opportunities for our defense. We took that attitude. We knew our offense was having a hard time moving the ball. But we didn't do that.
chip extra motivation nobody shoulder
This is the AFC championship -- you don't need a chip on your shoulder for this game. Nobody is going to need any extra motivation or anything like that to get up for this one.
left stop
If it's left up to us to stop the run, ... that's what we've got to do.
check definitely disguise dummy fake looks study understand
It's not all real. You have to understand when he's doing dummy calls. We can tell from the film study when he's doing his fake calls. We know how to read that pretty much. But when he's on his calls, we definitely need to disguise what we're doing and show him some different looks and (make him) check to something they don't want to run.
edge extra stuff week
No, can't get him going this week. We don't need any extra stuff going on this week to give them an extra edge for this game.
came reason remember
Just remember the reason that we came here. It is still about the game.
dream extra few goal offense
Our goal is to try and get our offense a few extra possessions ? we did that today. It's a dream come true, but it's not over yet ?we've still got one more game.
scheme seems seen
I think our scheme is very difficult. It seems like we do a lot of different things and, if you don't play us that often and you have never seen anything that we've done, it's going to be tough.
bowl expect less loser playing solid super team teams war winner
Now, you have two teams playing with the winner going to the Super Bowl and the loser going home. We expect nothing less than an all-out war (at Denver). They are a solid team in all phases.
left second
If you got one second left on the clock, you got enough time.
certain tells word
He always had us in the right places. If he tells us to be in a certain spot, we know it's going to work. His word is God.
allowed bit blitz covered good guess guys holding job mixed running stay time
I guess we had them covered in the back end, because he was running around with the ball, holding it a lot, and it allowed our guys more time to get him. We did a good job in the back end covering. ... We mixed it up a lot. We didn't want to just stay doing one thing. We wanted to try to blitz a little bit, cover a little bit and just keep them off their pace.
backs challenge change good great plan running tougher
Our plan doesn't change at all. They have two great running backs and a good quarterback. So the challenge is even tougher this game.
awhile coming couple hard took
It was frustrating, the first couple of years. It was hard for me. It was an adjustment, coming from college, being in the big city. It took me awhile to get comfortable.
