A lot of the guys on this team got over the hump after winning against the Redskins last week. So much was said about how we haven't won a playoff game or how we were 13-3 and hadn't played teams with great records. Our defense is probably the worst rated of the 12 teams in the playoffs. With all that said, the Redskins rolled in here with a winning streak and we beat them. |
All year long, we've heard why we shouldn't be able to do this or that. Finally, we got sick of hearing it. As an organization, we had to go out and earn our respect. |
Even though we really don't see each other as much as we'd like, we talk a lot, probably once a week. We helped each other out as a rookie: 'What are you seeing? What's going on here?' You're a little intimidated and you don't want to ask the veterans on your own team questions. We kind of tried to help each other out that way. |
Everybody is kind of playing for each other and when Shaun got his 27th touchdown and tied the record, his first thing was to come over to the line and kind of thank us. It just kind of shows how this team is a little different. |
Frankly, we get sick of hearing it. You'd think we'd earned respect. All we can do is keep winning. |
Going into the playoffs, the so-called experts said that there were 12 teams in the playoffs and out of everyone, we had the worst defense. Well, you can't play any better than that, can you? |
He lets it be known what he's thinking, and yeah, sometimes his opinions get on your nerves. Sometimes I want to beat him, but that would look bad, because you're not supposed to beat the elderly. |
He played hard, played fast, really came off the ball. I think he's going to be a good player in this league. |
He was the best man at my wedding. |
He's been thrown into the fire. It was the lowest of the lows. In my rookie year, he was getting booed off the field. Of anybody, I'm proudest of Matt. |
He's now the rookie. The veterans over there have a tendency to find your room number and send the lunch bills to that room. |
His first thing was to come over to the line and kind of thank us. It just shows you how this team is a little different. |
Hopefully some of the teams that aren't use to playing in cold and rainy weather have to come out here in the middle to end of January. |
I don't know if you can play any better than that against an explosive offense. |
I just got a little sick of hearing about we couldn't beat them. I mean, we're out here with a 13-3 record and people keep doubting us. |
