I think everyone's been disciplined. Everyone's been in the gaps they're supposed to get in and guys are making gang tackles, not waiting for guys to make the play, and everybody's running to the ball.
There are similarities. There is loss, there is tragedy. Still guys have to be able to focus. Football is football.
You've got to be very conscious of what people see. If I saw somebody every day, I would get sick of them. Most guys think, 'If I can get on TV every day and give that quote, I'm going to be golden.' It's not about that. It's about showing people you can be yourself.
Guys are just thoroughly enjoying playing for him right now. I think that's a testament that this is his team and we're here to do whatever we need to do to in. His focus isn't to make things hard on us, his focus is to make sure we're prepared to win football games.
We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football. That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there, and I'm not trying to be his, either. We're playing to win. We're not going out there to put on a show and let these guys win the game.
We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football, ... That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there, and I'm not trying to be his, either. We have to play our hardest. We're playing to win. We're not going out there to put on a show and let these guys win the game.

We all know there have been some cases in which guys have crossed the line. I'm pretty sure there are more that haven't been caught. When you have those situations ... it absolutely can hurt the team.
There have been three guys I've been around who, personality-wise, have been the most inspirational,
No matter how loud the stadium is, once you're on that field and that offense walks up to the line, it's silent. You can only hear the guys on the field. It's amazing how much concentration you can have when it's required and how powerful your mind is to give it to you.
Our other guys are going to see that and feed off it. He goes after the ball and actually catches it.
That's probably one of our biggest spikes on our team, that whole combination of the three guys inside, one who is an aggressive linebacker who can run like the wind and two tackles who are athletic and strong. That's why people can't run on us - the middle has been pretty stout.
It reminds me of coming back against those guys when they were undefeated.
That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there and I'm not trying to be his either. We're not playing just to go out there and put on a show and let these guys win the game.
