corners football short
I'm a corner, dog. Corners have a short memory, or I wouldn't be able to play out there.
lived senior
He practically lived with me my senior year.
afraid attacks ball bigger excellent goes good plays route runner runs slug
He plays a lot bigger than he is. He's an excellent route runner and he runs well after the catch. He goes up and attacks the ball and he's not afraid to go in and slug it out with you. That's what makes him a good receiver.
against bears game smith yards
That game against the Bears (Nov. 20) they had like 190 yards of passing, and Smith had 160 of them.
catch fair guy judge people sure
It's fair to judge people on how many turnovers they have, but there's so many other things, too. No. 1 is make sure the other guy doesn't catch the ball.
chance character fight full guys longer until whenever
It's the character we have around here and the way guys fight until the end of the game, for a full 60 minutes. And if we're out there longer than that, we keep fighting. Whenever you have that, you give yourself a chance to win.
athletic ball solid
They're big, athletic and fast. What more can you say? When they get the ball in their hands, they know what to do with it. We've just got to play solid ball, play our ball.
good leaders leaders-and-leadership playing point step team
The leaders of this team need to step up and make a point that everyone understands we're playing a really good team.
career chance knew mentality opportunity picked sack score thankful
I was just thankful for the opportunity that the sack by Greg created. I knew once I picked up the ball, I was going to score and that's the mentality you need to have. I am just thankful for the chance to score my first career touchdown.
developing great knack knew past
If you look at all the great safeties from past time, they always had a knack for making big plays. That's because they were smart. They knew how to read the quarterback and just had a feel for the game. I think I'm developing that.
against assume bad football looking means order players wants
Football players are prideful guys, so I could assume he wants to come out and have a big day against us. In order for him to have a big day it means we have to have a bad day and I?m not looking for us to have a bad day.
character matter
We don't give up. No matter what, we keep fighting. That's the character of this team. And I think we can grow.
beat create defense night played playing rhythm side strong team tough
I thought we didn't create rhythm offensively. And we played really tough defense on the strong side all night long, but you can't beat this team playing that way. Just playing strong defense on that side.
good solid win
I thought we did enough solid things to win the game. There were stretches where we were pretty good defensively.
