I remember us making all sorts of mistakes on defense. I wanted to come out in the second half and do something to get the season off and running. |
Kevin is a versatile player who gives us options because of his ability to play safety or cornerback. Last year was his first year with safety as his primary position, and I expect him to take giant steps this year, building on the year's experience he had. |
That second half set the stage for what we were going to do as a defense that season. We shut them out and on top of that, we made big plays that helped decide the game. |
We couldn't really explain it. We might have gotten a little cocky, because we were coming off such a good year and everyone was picking us to do great things. We got a little ahead of ourselves. |
