“If you look at it, they're definitely not selfish people. Whatever it takes. Troy Brown playing defense is a little more crazy than putting a corner at safety, but it's not that much different. They know the coverage schemes and where everybody's got to be. But they've got a lot of guys that are interchangeable.”
“Really, that's not our style. Honestly, we just plug along. We run it, run it, run it, run it then a pass or two. I think the pounding over and over and over wears them down, and soon we're able to break a few big plays.”
“They're pretty base in what they do. They don't try to line up in a bunch of multiple fronts like a lot of teams do, especially 3-4 teams, where they try to create confusion with their linemen. They've got great run-support safeties who come up and make plays. Their linebackers and defensive line are physical. These guys line up and play football.”
“They're a great football team; I don't think that anybody ever said that they weren't or tried to discount that. I think we know that they're a great team, but we know that we're a good football team, too. Not a lot of people give us a lot of credit, but that's fine. We're just going to go out and play football.”
“He's had a great career; I think he's done a lot for pro football. But I don't think he deserves to have anything. I think you have to earn what you get. He's had a great career, but it's not my fault that he hasn't been to the Big One. Hopefully we can take care of him this week.”
“Coach Brewster was at a place where tight ends were big threats in the red zone. He emphasizes the importance of the role of the tight end in the red zone, so we know what it all means to an offense's success.”
“It's just crazy to think as long as I've played and not ever had the opportunity to be in the position we're in. That's something I hope everybody realizes, that it doesn't happen that often. So when it does happen, you have to take advantage of it.”
