I wasn't here for the Super Bowl, |
I would like to see a hungry personality out of the team. Those who are hungry find any way to eat. This team is not eating. |
I'm not talking about him. |
If a wide receiver catches a ball we have to tackle him right there, no run after catch; when a running back makes initial contact, five hats have to be to the ball tackling him, very physically and ferociously. We didn't do that (Sunday against Pittsburgh). We have to get to that. |
If he has to buy it, I'll buy it for him. |
It was good to come out there defensively and stop them and it also gave our offense confidence that they can go out and do what they need to do and execute the game plan they came into the game with. Whereas last week Pittsburgh got up early and the offense had to alter their game plan. This week they just stuck with it. They drove and pounded it. |
Me, I'm feeling fine. Honestly, I'm feeling fine. I know I'll be out there on Sunday, and I don't plan on missing a beat. I was in tune with practice today. It was like a mental day for me. |
Michael Vick, I'd rather watch him. Getting the 'Michael Vick Experience' in the preseason, the second preseason game, that wouldn't be high on my wish list. But we're going to get out there, fly around, have a good time and make some plays on defense. |
My mentality is I ball until I fall. I'll go out there next week and whatever happens to it happens to it, but we have to get this straightened out so I definitely have to be out there. |
Nothing changes with Tennessee. We lost a few main components of the team this year, but a good team is able to rebuild and come back, sometimes even stronger. Even without Jevon and Eddie, nothing changes for us. We're going to handle our business as planned. We've knocked on the door, but this year we're going to kick it in. |
Our defense has definitely grown. Last week I was proud we were able to make that stop to get off the field on third down and give our offense a chance, ... This week's another big test. |
Pac should have scored. |
That's the thing, nobody really knows what we did and what we accomplished. In the last 11 games of the year, our backs were to the wall. We were 1-4 and facing elimination from the playoffs in early October, and we battled back and got all the way to the AFC Championship Game. That's doing something. |
That's what football's all about. It's supposed to be fun and exciting, and if you don't enjoy your job, then you don't really need to be out there doing it, |
There's no way we're supposed to lose 40-7 when we played them close last time. I'm not here to point fingers at nobody. You've got to ask those guys if they gave up, and if they tell you they gave up, then they gave up. I didn't see anyone give up. |
