This is going to make that plane ride not as long, ... Now we can sit back a little bit and enjoy this one for the moment. |
This is something I've sought after my whole career. I look at myself as the leader on and off the field, vocally and in my actions. I try to lead by example. The point I'm at right now in my career, I'm so happy I'm having the opportunity to do these things, I really can't explain it. |
This is the pinnacle of my career right now, ... It's just all about your getting your chance and getting in that system that fits you best . . . I just wish I would have been in this defense my whole career. I can't dwell on that. I can just try to make those memories happen now. |
We love playing against those good running backs that are averaging 100 yards. We try to be prepared for that and ready for that every week. Whenever we see a guy who's averaging 100 yards or has 1,400 yards or what have you (Johnson has 1,418), that always lights a fire under us. |
We started slow, and they caught us off-guard a lot. It was all about us turning it up and not letting them stick around because we could end up on the wrong end. |
We were just being relentless. Guys were tired, cramping up, but we stayed in each other's ear. |
We were saying at halftime we have to come out on fire in the third quarter and if we won the third quarter, we would set ourselves up for success. |
We weren't surprised at all. That's something that we hang our hat on, is we will be ready and prepared for any team, whatever running attack they bring. |
What if I grab a guy by the collar, and he only needs a yard for a first down? |
