good home hyped love onto playing possible road special
I don't know if it's possible to feel more comfortable on the road because we love playing before our fans. But there's something special about going onto another guy's turf and silencing their fans. We get hyped up playing before someone else's home crowd, and that's good if you can put it in the right direction.
games team
Every team is going to have some games like this, but it's how do you respond,
ball couple early running stop three yards
All those carries, you are going to get those yards one, two, three at a time. It's not like it was a couple big runs. He chipped away at us by running the ball over 30 times. If we stop him early this time, he won't be able to do that again.
guys last learn takes throw year
Last year I had to relearn that, and those new guys had to learn me. It takes time. We went through all that going 1-7 last year. But now, we throw them in, and we're already clicking.
framework hands people roll rules schemes
In the framework of their schemes and the way the rules are, it's legal. You just have to roll with the punches, there are a lot of things people don't like. You've just got to play it better, put your hands down (on the blocker) and try not to get cut.
framework roll rules schemes
In the framework of their schemes and the way the rules are, it's legal. I just kind of got caught. I'll roll with it.
counts fourth quarter
They started off hot. But what counts is the fourth quarter and how you finish. It's not how you start; it's how you finish.
version younger
He's kind of like a younger version of Brett Favre.
atone best expect last league looking next seldom team week weeks
Sometimes in this league you just get spanked, and you usually come back the next week looking to atone for it. Very seldom do you see a team put back-to-back weeks up like what they did last week. We expect their best this week.
clear close good knew move player
That's when I knew that Jenks was pretty close to his old self. He used a really good move to get by a really good player to get a sack. That's when it was clear that he's pretty much back.
best defensive hands
The defensive backs, they will do what they have to do. But the best thing for us to do is get our hands up.
talk
We don't talk with our mouths! We talk with our pads!
bowl defensive dust ends good playoffs sets settle super
We'll see when all of the playoffs settle down and the Super Bowl is done. You have some good sets of defensive ends out there and to get where we want to go we'll have to see them. We'll see after the dust clears.
beating everybody found funny problem talk
There for a while we had a problem beating them here. It's funny how everybody has found another thing to talk about.
