We did what we said we were going to do, … We got in his (Harrington’s) face, and we got some pressure on him and got him to throw the ball sometimes when he didn’t...

When they needed a play, he made it. He’s the best offensive player in the league.

That’s easy. Thomas kept [the defense] on the sideline and gave us a chance to get a break.

He’s been trying to come to terms with it for a long time. I think he knew a while back he was going to do this. I’m sure it’s not easy for him — it’s...

We play hard, we take the ball away and the No. 1 thing is we get to the quarterback and we get to the ball. When the ball is on the ground, we usually have...

The guy’s unbelievable. He made a lot of plays.

Takeaways, stopping the run, and as long as we don’t turn the ball over, I think we’ll be OK. If we don’t give them a chance to score with their defense on the field, we’ll...

[TEN YARDS WITH T.B.: Bradshaw’s offered the following while introducing this week’s installment of] Ten Yards with TB … When Brian told me he grew up in New Mexico, I told him I thought it...

We think it’s possible. We get a lot of takeaways. The ball seems like it’s bounced in our direction right now. We’ve got to get those balls. We haven’t created a lot of fumbles so...

Steve Smith, that’s what happened to us.

I hear so-called experts say Carolina’s the best team in the NFC. Well, let’s see if they’re right.

I haven’t even looked at it yet, Mike.

It’s right there for us. We have a chance to [win it all].

I don’t remember much from that season, it’s so long ago. We know we have a good chance to do something special here and that’s the way we’re going to approach it.

Today, our defense flew around and had a good time. It was fun out there.

I’ll bet I have 250 pairs. I can’t throw any away because as a kid we got one pair a year. Now I order 20 pairs at a time.

We found a way to lose at the end.

We found a way to lose it at the end. We had played well for 3 1/2 quarters.

We don’t give up a lot of yards, just too many big plays.

It’s just a different mind-set around here this time. I know that’s easy for me to say, but I mean it.

The No. 1 thing is you have to be able to protect the quarterback, … If we put pressure on him and stop the run, we’ll put ourselves in some good situations.

We haven’t beaten anyone in the playoffs yet, and that’s what we have to do. We’ve won a lot of big games in the regular season, but we need to win playoff games to get...

People are realizing we have some good players here. Anytime you lose, nothing really matters except winning. … People realize that when you win, you obviously have some good players on your team.

It feels like crap right now. Disappointing. But I guess you could look at the bright side and say we’re a young team and all that good stuff. It’s going to hurt for a while.

We didn’t have any three-and-outs, a lot of takeaways, a lot of sacks. That’s what we thrive on.

We have to stop thinking we’re a good defense and start stepping up and do it. Two plays killed us. No excuses.

We’re flying to the ball. We’re making plays when we have to.

We didn’t tackle. We didn’t get in our gaps. Our defense is predicated on getting in our gaps. In order to give ourselves a chance to win games, we can’t do that.

Only time will tell. We feel like we have good players. We brought Moose in, we brought Fred Miller in on offence,

We need to reel off three, four, or five (wins) in a row and go from there.

We know about the tradition here and all that good stuff. We’ve just got to make plays. That’s what it comes down to. We know there’s a lot of good defenses here in the past,...

But we have to make plays and score on defense. We know that, and we just didn`t do it today.

Even though you’re not in the game, you still like to win and see your teammates do well, so it was a little frustrating. But at the same time, we got out of this game...

Things have gotten better on defence. It looks like our whole team has gotten better. We just have to go out there and do it on Sundays. We can talk all we want, but until...

Rivera turned us loose today, … He called a bunch of blitzes — they worked. We got a bunch of pressure, and when he did get rid of the ball we tackled the guys. We...

It’s a non-issue; it’s behind us now. That was a long time ago.

This whole season was a blessing. To go through what I went through last year, it was just so frustrating. … I was mad when (the overrated tag) came out, frustrated, but the people who...
