This is the ultimate team sport
The difficult part comes because it's just not the everyday week. It's shorter and we're going across the country, but besides that it's not that difficult ... We've been able to get everything in from Seattle and study up and we've been trying to get as much practice time and meeting time as possible, ...
I’m playing the slot a whole lot more. I’m playing safety a whole lot more in certain situations ... So there’s a few different things.
I didn't think anything of it when I first heard it
Yeah, people are always trying to bring it up or always trying to say something that has the word ‘dream’ in it or something like that ... You always have to watch what you’re saying, because even if you say, ‘It’s been our dream to be in this situation,’ then someone’s going to run with that.
We knew that expectations were going to be great and it was going to be assumed that we would be undefeated, but we knew there was going to be some work to be done ... Everybody was new, everybody was learning, (and) coaches included. We just needed to be real with ourselves and I think it becomes a big...
I think we all got a lesson in that after that statement he made ... Then it turned into us just being cocky and us being overconfident and say way too much, et cetera, et cetera, which we were never doing.
We’ve been in that situation before where it’s the final drive of the game, and we haven’t made the big play ... The sack alone would still have given them more time, but the fumble – and us to recover – everybody was like, Thank goodness.
There's a couple of plays that get us in the fourth quarter, and that's hurt us
I have nothing to say that there's criticism over that
