defense good job last played running stop week
I thought the defense played good last week; it was just the running game. I feel like we can stop the run week in and week out. We did a pretty good job of it today.
dangerous guy played player within
I always said -- even when I played there -- if we could ever get this guy to play within the scheme, study, and be a professional, he probably could be the most dangerous player in the league.
against gave happy played turned
We're happy with the way things turned out. I thought we could have played better against the run. I thought we gave them 30 more yards, but they're a professional team, so they're going to get some plays.
amount bad coming felt high last million played season talent
I'm very shocked. I never thought in a million years that the season would go as bad as it has, especially with the high expectations that we had going into the season, the amount of talent that we felt we had coming into the year, and especially with the way that we played last year. It's been a shock. It's just been one thing after another.
added best corey defense depth everybody lose nature played players since step time
Any time you lose players like that there is some concern, but everybody has to step up, ... But I think this is the best our defense has played since I've been here. We would have added more depth with Corey and Hugh, but that's the nature of the business. You can't keep everybody, but we could have used them.
both close defense everybody fans good offensive played teams wants
The fans and everybody wants to see big offensive plays. But it was kind of good the defenses on both teams played well. To go out there and close it out on defense for the NFC was big for us.
cry hard helped officials played saying tried
I?m not saying it would be different. But I know I could have helped out. I tried to tell the officials what happened, but it didn?t help. We still played hard and we had our chances. We can?t cry over spilled milk.
against excited flying gave played teammates trying
I thought we could have played better against the run. I thought we gave them at least about 30 yards. I was just excited to get back out there, see my teammates flying around and trying to contribute.
beginning focus good last main nasty season year
I said it at the beginning of the season -- (takeaways) was our main goal. We know we are a nasty defense. We know we are a good defense, but last year we didn't have enough takeaways. That's a focus for us this year, getting to the ball.
focus good last main nasty year
That was our main goal. We know we are a nasty defense. We know we are a good defense. But last year we didn't have enough takeaways. That's a focus for us this year, getting the ball.
anyone block punch threw trash tried
(Mathis) threw a punch and I tried to block it. We were just trash talking. I don't think anyone should have been ejected.
playing stop today wish
I wish it wasn't over and that we were playing today to go into the playoffs. But the way it was going, at some point, you stop the bleeding.
figure next situation
We'd better figure it out. Especially for next year, we'd better figure it out. If we don't, we'll be back in the same situation we're in now.
behind cameras face football particular subject talked talking team tried
We as a team have tried to put that behind us. It's frustrating to have cameras in your face every day talking about a particular subject - other than football - that doesn't need to be talked about.
