They’re a good team, but we made them look a lot better than they might be.

I really believe in what Mike Nolan is doing. I wanted to see it through.

I was trying to find a doctor that would say we can go in there 10 weeks from now and fix it, and it will be good as new, … I was searching for someone,...

A guy who knows the pulse of a team. A guy who knows what’s going on, when to back off and when to push harder. Coach Singletary has all those skills, unmatched.

Oh! If I don’t know, … Is that his goal?

Oh yeah? He said that? Oh phew I don’t see that taking more than a year or so.

It was kind of encouraging. In past times it was almost, I don’t know, people didn’t let it hurt enough. It was pretty somber back there. Guys were talking about the game and interested in...

There just weren’t that many pros.

It’s not magic. There’s no secret formula. It’s do what you’re coached to do. That’s why it’s disgusting.

I’m not saying I’ve ever disrespected any coaches, but sometimes a coach asks you to do something and you think to yourself, Could he have done it? … But when Singletary tells you to do...

sees a ton of potential in every single guy.

I really think we’re going to do something special here. I don’t want to be on the sideline watching it when it happens.

I wish I could tell you how I really felt.

Just getting rid of that (2-14) stench from last year, taking advantage of this fresh start, that’s what this game is. To win in a game that’s truly meaningful, that’s great.

It’s an emotional decision for me; I really love playing with these guys.

We have to start faster. I think that was the problem last week (against the Raiders).

We have no other choice but to stay positive. We have no other choice.

I don’t know. I was so tired, I wasn’t even paying attention. I’ll sleep well tonight.

I love playing with these guys. To be on the sideline is going to be tough.

Yeah. But he’s that type of guy. He’s got more presence about him than any coach I’ve ever been around.

I’ve never been around anybody like him. A perfect example was at the memorial. He didn’t know Thomas, but the things he said were probably the most poignant.

But this is only his third year as a coach at any level.

He told me that, even now, it gets worse every day.

Just getting rid of that stench from last year, taking advantage of this fresh start, that’s what this game is. To win in a game that’s truly meaningful, that’s great.

Say the last thing he said was ‘Cover Four’ and the helmet goes down. You have to fire a pad, and if you hit the one pad it releases a second pad that you have...

I feel as though we can play a lot better defensively.

It may not seem from the outside that we’re making progress, but we are.

After I made the tackle, I looked down and my bicep was rolled up and off to one side,

I’m fully confident in Billy Davis.

We are getting rid of the stench from last year.

I really feel like we’re growing as a team and as a defense, and I want to be a part of it,

Last year, we introduced the 3-4, but at the same time, we retained all our 4-3 calls, we practiced them. It was kind of always like, I don’t know if it was inevitable, but it...

I used to joke that it was an off week for me,

He said it was.

He’s the solid rock we lean on.

Maybe last year we were scrambling a little more,

If I play with it, … they might never be able to fix it.

I was interested in the mindset. Especially coming off a year like the last, you want to make sure nobody’s saying, ‘Oh no, not again,’ because it’s not that situation. It’s all stuff that we...

It’s tough. You put an entire off-season in, not only conditioning your body but working with these guys and getting on the same page. I love playing with these guys. I love what I do....
