All I can tell you is it was a very emotional time for the whole team to see a great man like that go. We don't know what the future holds. All we know is that coach Sherman is no longer the head coach of the Green Bay Packers. |
Blitzing will only get you so far. We are a fundamental defense. Trust me, when you go blitzing, you're taking a risk. You put a lot of pressure on the DBs. That's like a haymaker punch. You better hit it. If you miss, you're going to be very, very vulnerable. It's better to stop them with our sound defense. It's consistent. You know what you're going to get. |
Cullen Jenkins is quick, very explosive. He's quick enough he could even play on the outside. |
He was the reason we were able to play until the very end. When it seemed like the world told us there was no reason to play, he motivated us. |
I did not see it coming. I thought we handled this - Coach Sherman and the rest of us - handled the best that we could with the hand that was dealt us. We couldn't have done any better. But that's not what Ted Thompson (is) looking at. |
I found out through my babysitter. I'm just happy he's hear for another year. |
I think that Brett has a lot of football in him physically. Obviously, he took a long time to make the decision, and he wouldn't make the decision if he didn't think he could do it mentally, but physically I know he has it. |
I think we're a working group, ... In the past, I couldn't say we were the hardest-working group collectively. You had individuals who worked hard, like Aaron and myself. Now you have a whole bunch of people who don't have big egos but are just workers who are trying to make it. You can't say we're not the hardest working group (on the team) anymore. |
I'm just really shocked because of how hard Coach Sherman works. When you think of someone getting fired, you think of someone as lazy, don't work hard, don't put effort into it. He's the epitome of a professional. |
It's a blessing we were even in the playoffs, ... or even made it to the second round. So I wouldn't say it's that disappointing. |
Let me tell you something. The best team in our division right now is 1-1, correct? So do we got to have it? I'll let you answer that question. I think we've got to have it every week. If you take away those mental breakdowns we've had defensively you wouldn't be asking questions if I'm desperate. |
Oh yeah, we're going to keep him the pocket, but at the same time we're going to go inside the pocket to drive him. Ideally we'd like to crush him in the pocket. |
Right now we're not executing. I'm not sure if it's because New England is used to playing against a similar defense with Miami being in their conference. We weren't executing and they were. I see why they're Super Bowl champs. |
That shouldn't have happened. But it did. |
Usually we didn't know when our season was going to end with the playoffs, but now we know where we are. This is like our Super Bowl, our championship. This is a very good team that we're about to play and we look forward to playing them. |
