That shouldn't have happened. But it did.

Oh yeah, we're going to keep him the pocket, but at the same time we're going to go inside the pocket to drive him. Ideally we'd like to crush him in the pocket.

It's a blessing we were even in the playoffs, ... or even made it to the second round. So I wouldn't say it's that disappointing.

Let me tell you something. The best team in our division right now is 1-1, correct? So do we got to have it? I'll let you answer that question. I think we've got to have it every week. If you take away those mental breakdowns we've had defensively you wouldn't be asking questions if I'm desperate.

When you try to do something for somebody, it just never seems like it works out.

Usually we didn't know when our season was going to end with the playoffs, but now we know where we are. This is like our Super Bowl, our championship. This is a very good team that we're about to play and we look forward to playing them.

I think we're a working group, ... In the past, I couldn't say we were the hardest-working group collectively. You had individuals who worked hard, like Aaron and myself. Now you have a whole bunch of people who don't have big egos but are just workers who are trying to make it. You can't say we're not the hardest working group (on the team) anymore.

We felt like we had the game in our hands.

Blitzing will only get you so far. We are a fundamental defense. Trust me, when you go blitzing, you're taking a risk. You put a lot of pressure on the DBs. That's like a haymaker punch. You better hit it. If you miss, you're going to be very, very vulnerable. It's better to stop them with our sound defense. It's consistent. You know what you're going to get.
