Just occupying more than one person. He's the kind of person that can take on two people and still win. He has a presence in his pass rush. Sometimes, maybe your defensive tackles aren't maybe some of the solid pass rushers in the league. But we think he's one of the better pass-rushing defensive tackles around. |
Just the physical presence he brings makes a huge difference. |
Kyle Orton was playing better than any of the quarterbacks, |
My own parents wish maybe I would use different adjectives at times. But there's also kind of a feeling that I have to get in the gutter because some of them have lived in the gutter. But I don't take pride in that. |
other than that, everyone is cool. People take it for what it's worth. We're having fun, we're trying to win. Whatever it takes to win. The people in the locker room get excited. |
People look for me to be the spokesman too much, and I'm not. That's in deference to him. I've been there. I understand. He needs to do most of the talking because he's in the Hall of Fame, and I'm not. |
Physically, we're stouter at the point of attack then we were at any time last year. We've just had a few runs that popped. |
Remember last year? 'Gregg, you can't stop the run with that defensive line.' 'Gregg, these guys can't rush the passer.' I don't know why I didn't cut my wrist and lay in a hot tub of water. Every one of them played with an attitude. |
Renaldo really pushes people around up front and he plays tremendously hard. He does a lot of things behind the scenes. There's a reason why our linebackers make a lot of plays. There's a reason why our linebackers run and hit as much as they do. Renaldo understands. |
Sometimes the idea of a blitz can be almost as good as the blitz itself. We pressured Bledsoe on seven of the first 10 snaps. I knew Bill Parcells was going to over-commit to protecting his quarterback, and leave more people in to block. So we started showing pressure and not bringing it, making the quarterback feel by the way we lined up, 'Here they come.' And then we'd drop back, and he'd wind up getting upset and throwing the ball away. |
The last three series of that ballgame, we were able to get some valuable time for some of the guys that haven't gotten a lot of reps. We were able to divide up the reps. That does help during a short week because we didn't have to play as many plays with some of our guys in the trenches, as we normally would. |
The quickest way to stop an offense is to get to the quarterback. You can play better in coverage when you can make sure the quarterback is unsettled. We didn't do as good a job in it last time. So that's the task at hand. |
The single hardest thing to do is rush the passer in the last two minutes. |
There's a fine line between hope and belief. But he brings belief. All of us became better coaches the second that deal was cut. |
This is what he does best, play football. I thought it was important for the young guys to see him here, see him taking charge in the huddle. It's very valuable for him to show the young guys how important it is to be here, to be working. |
