0-5? I mean, it sucks. We've dug the hole. |
But at the same time, I've been with coach Capers the same amount of time, and all he's wanted is what he felt is best for his team. |
Coach P is a firecracker, |
Coach Palmer is what you could say was 'my guy,' |
He gets off the ball like you wouldn't believe, ... He's so fast around the corner. You jump out there to make sure he doesn't beat you around the corner, and as soon as you jump out there, he spins to the side and he's right on top of the quarterback. |
He's asking good questions, and when he makes a mistake, he realizes it immediately. When something went wrong last year, he'd get a look on his face that said, What am I supposed to be doing? |
I love coach Capers. He's the only coach I've ever known, but I like him, especially this season. He hasn't been just a coach. If you had something going on away from football, you could go and talk to him as a friend. |
If we do things right we're just as good as anybody in the NFL. But when we don't do things right, we can look sloppy and ugly. So the biggest thing for us is doing things right play in and play out no matter how many plays we have out there. |
It stinks, ... We've dug a hole. No one else dug this hole for us. |
It's a rivalry game, just like Jacksonville, |
It's kind of like being the first born now. The last four years, the defense was the first born. If we'd get out of a meeting 10 minutes early, the defense was going to know about it before us. All the little things, the defense knew first. Hopefully now with an offensive-minded coach, we get some of those extra advantages. |
Our first year, we had 76 sacks, ... That's not very good. Playing like this, we'll be right back where we started. |
The game has slowed down some for me. When I watch film now, I can pick things up faster, and when I'm playing, I have a better sense of what a player is trying to do to me. All that helps, but in the end I still have to go out and block people like [the Dolphins'] Jason Taylor and [the Jaguars'] Hugh Douglas. |
The way he calls plays differently or what can be expected, I can't comment on that. That will all be determined real soon. I just know coach Pendry is a good coach. |
There are a lot of guys that have looked fantastic and done a great job, but I'm not sold on anyone until they do it at this level. |
