As the game gets bigger for the fans it gets bigger for the players.
I go back to when Jessie and I were the leaders of the defense,
Compared to the other teams, it definitely seems like a younger team to me. But I think that everybody here has the same motivation, the same desire to go out there and win these games and put us in the Super Bowl. That is everybody's goal. There is no doubt in anybody's mind that we can do that as long as we play the way we are capable of playing.
It's not over. We're disappointed, everybody is mad, but it's not over.
This feels like a blown opportunity. We should've won. ... You're not going to win when you handicap yourself.
I think we were a team, but we were a little unsure. We had a new quarterback, there were a lot of different things we had to have answered. This year I just don't have that feeling. Even though Eli's young, I just don't have that feeling that we're as unsure of ourselves.
I started working out with my father the summer I was 13, which was incredible for our relationship. Those were my summers: working out with my dad, hanging out with my brothers, riding my bike. Pretty simple.
That's fine with me. Offensively, we scored 28 and special teams put another 14 on the board. It's a team game.
I look at it like this: You call the defense and if you execute everything right, then it should work, ... It's probably more frustration on the part of the defense. But at least they are correctable things, things that we better correct or we are not going to like our results this season.
And I was embarrassed, ... And it hurt, man. So he said, 'You've got to get through that. Really it's more mental than anything else.' Once I got through that, all of a sudden I instantly got better.
One thing about Foxy, I know they are going to be physical. That is the one thing he preached here defensively.
He showed a lot of poise. He commands the huddle and he commands the offense.
He's confident. He can see it right now every time he takes a snap and drops back.
It's amazing, Corey Webster's really done a good job over the last two weeks. He took points off the board for them with that first interception.
