crowd difficult gets hear offense run stopped tone
We set the tone defensively. We stopped the run and had them in second-and-long, third-and-long. When the crowd here gets into it, it can be very difficult for the offense to hear and to execute.

bowl coaches cut drew execute game handle plan pressure steve trying work
We have to get some pressure on Jake, and we've got our work cut out for us in trying to keep a handle of (Pro Bowl receiver) Steve Smith. It's a big job, but if we execute the game plan our coaches drew up for us, we should be OK.
