This was a huge game in our division, and the emotions were just flaring. We were very inspired the whole game. Things like [the head butt] are going to happen, but you try and limit them as much as you can. If a guy head butts me or walks up on me, I'm not going to stand there and take it. That's what football is all about. |
Those guys beat us pretty badly when we faced them earlier this month. Now it's our time to return the favor. |
To get nine sacks and with our crowd behind us like they were, that would fluster any offensive line in the league, |

We have a lot of improving to do. We haven't even scratched the surface of what this team can accomplish. It's a great win. Great to be 1-0, but we have 15 more rounds to go and Seattle is staring us in the face. |
We have to get some pressure on Jake, and we've got our work cut out for us in trying to keep a handle of (Pro Bowl receiver) Steve Smith. It's a big job, but if we execute the game plan our coaches drew up for us, we should be OK. |
We have to keep our four points of pressure, and when we rush, it might take a couple of us to get him to the ground. He's a big human being. |
We need to get our best football players on the field. I have complete confidence they're going to make the best decision for the football team. |
We set the tone defensively. We stopped the run and had them in second-and-long, third-and-long. When the crowd here gets into it, it can be very difficult for the offense to hear and to execute. |
We're only going to get better, |
When he's healthy, I've always said there's hardly anyone in the business better than him. He does so many good things. But I saw that knee brace ? it sticks out ? so you know he's not 100 percent. But he looked pretty good. He's running hard. They just wanted to get him a few carries and get him knocked around a little bit. |
When you put winning football teams out there consistently, you get these nationally televised games. You get the notoriety that you deserve. That's the way it works, and that's the way it should be. |
Whoever did that poll hasn't been there in a number of years. When the place is packed, there's nothing better. |
Winning a championship for city and state is the highest goal we have, but who wouldn't want to score a touchdown or two along the way? |
Yeah, I guess it's one of those things you look at and you say, 'I want to score a touchdown before I'm done playing football,' |
