Anytime you step on the football field, you have to go out there to play to win and play hard. You have to have something inside yourself to respect yourself and the game and go out there and perform. |
Consistency on their protection and pass set -- the best linemen don't waver from it, regardless of what I do. |
Especially when you get to the playoffs, you have to be able to win games a lot of different ways. You can't just depend on the offense to score 30 or 40 points. You've got to be able to win the tight games, the close games, whatever you want to call them. |
Ever since I've been here, people have gone crazy over our offense and said that our defense sucks, ... Well, guess what? We're making strides. The crazy thing is, now that the defense is finally balling, everyone's uptight because the offense hasn't been clicking. |

He did a good job. |
He was a tough guy. We hit him with a lot. And he always popped up. |
He's a tough guy. We hit him quite a few times, but he always popped back up. That should be very encouraging for him. He's not the type of guy you can intimidate. |
He's just the next guy. |
Hopefully I can continue that little string I had going, |
I think a 10-3 score is a thing of beauty. I know a lot of people don't like it, but to me, it's beautiful. |
I thought the guy did a pretty good job, considering we'd heard he was playing hurt (sore shoulder), |
I understand that we have to really wrap up and tackle this guy. He's not one of those guys that is going to fall on the first touch. |
I was like, 'What, we signed a free agent?' ... It's big. I think the owner (Jim Irsay) really sees the opportunity to move forward here and make that push. |
I'm kind of disappointed that we let them score at the end. That's why I think that we ought to do better defensively and hopefully continue this success. It's four games in -- when we get to the eighth or 10th game, we'll see how everything compares. It's still early. We are playing great defensively. |
