attribute coach game helping knows last learning loves safety study success talking year
Marquand is like a coach out there on the field. I attribute a lot of my success and a lot of my learning as a safety to him because he's been right by my side, helping me out the whole way. Last year it was just me and him on the sideline, talking the game when we weren't playing. He knows the game very, very well and loves to study it.
surprise
It didn't surprise me at all, ... It really didn't.
people talking
People have been talking down about us all year.
coming guys help hopefully key last outcome shot situation slip special
We had something special going last year, and we let it slip through our hands. We're getting another shot at it this year. We've got some key (new) guys that are coming in to help us out, so hopefully if we get in that situation again, the outcome will be in our favor.
credit gotten mentioned top
We think we should be mentioned with the top defenses in the league. We haven't really gotten the credit we think we deserve.
best cocky records thinking
We should not be thinking about records or being the best but about doing the things we do best and not getting cocky or arrogant.

We have the No. 1 offense in the NFL. We hear that a lot. That helps us to practice and play harder.
aware beat definitely phase phases stop
We definitely are aware that we have to play a lot better on defense. Any phase of their offense, they can beat you in. We're going to have to stop all phases of their offense.
exciting game hurt played realize
The possibility to play this game is very exciting and very motivating. The play I got hurt on, I played a little tentative, and I think it made me realize that if you played tentative you're going to get hurt.
knees
(But) when it hit, it jostled us up pretty good. My knees got jammed up pretty good, and my hips.
rookie stellar year
I had a stellar rookie year. This year has to be better.
I can't live off what I did in the past,
deserve knew overlooked people point shown
We've been overlooked the whole season. Now we've shown the world we deserve to be here. We knew we were better than people were saying. I think we got that point across.
behind doctors happen rare saying trying
Even the doctors were saying it was kind of a rare thing, ... And they were saying it shouldn't happen again. I'm trying to put it behind me.
