We missed a ton of tackles. I don't think we're pressing. But we didn't give the offense enough opportunities.
We didn't play good, sound fundamental football. Jerry (Gray, the defensive coordinator) threw everything that was in our game plan, and obviously we didn't make plays. We have to be held accountable as players and make some plays.
When one of the NFL's superstars goes down, it can devastate your football team.
On the second one I was a backside half-field player, but (Cory) Bradford never came off the ball so I'm keying him and he immediately took himself out of the route by not running, ... I was able to look back, just helping out and staying active in the play, and I just ran and came down with the ball.
There's no reason why I shouldn't. In 2005, I want to be the best safety in the game.
There's nothing like winning. At least you can go home for at least that week and feel half-decent about yourself.
The National Football League is a humbling league. You can't rest on your merits from a week ago. We're not good enough to go out and play average football. We have to play extremely well in all three phases of the game. We're not good enough, defensively or offensively, to just show up.

That's not a pretty sight, because you never know the extent of the injuries. The trainers don't tell you anything. The referees are telling you to get back. You've got your teammate down there, your best friend, and he's not moving. So those are unfortunate situations. ... That very easily could be myself on the other side of the field.
That's his right and that's our fiduciary responsibility to protect him - any member of our association.
You're talking about a guy who just doesn't do it from week to week. He gets the job done every day of the week. I hear people talk about this person or that person being the best safety in the league after they've had one or two good years, but Dawkins has been more consistent at that position than anybody.
This could only happen in Green Bay. Only the Packers could sell out a scrimmage game.
We want the best for T.O., we want the best for the franchise and ultimately what's best for the sport. Can't we just get along?
