That was well deserved ... It’s nice to see people taking notice of what he’s been doing. Sacks haven’t been the huge number, but he gets double-teamed. When he doesn’t get double-teamed, you see what happens, like last week he just dominated those guys.
He was great. I loved Thomas when he was here ... Class of 2000, too. We were drafted the same year. … Good to see him still in the league doing well.
We played against him in Denver a couple of years ago, a preseason game. Kyle’s a good quarterback ... He knows where to go with the football. He knows our defense. It will be fun to play against him again.
Just got to play better. That’s all there is to it ... We didn’t play very well last week. Twenty-five points, six field goals, a touchdown, one takeaway -- not good for us. We’ve got to play better. We did good against the running game, just gave up too many yards in the passing game, too many big play...
We should have won that football game based on the way our offense played
He did a good job ... He had a couple picks. That’s going to happen. The tipped ball was a nice play by them. He’ll get better. I don’t think he did a bad job today. He kept us in the game, and if we play better defense we win the game.
I mean, they get the ball back with five and half minutes and we had a chance to stop them but gave up a touchdown
He's been here for two years ... The whole time (offensive coordinator Mike) Martz has been here, so he should know what to do with all of our checks and everything. So we're not going to drop off too much, I don't think.
We do play good in that role for some reason ... I don't know if it is just trying to prove people wrong. We've been that way since I've been here.
We lost our leader for a few weeks here so we've got to pick it up a little bit and everyone's got to try and do more if that's even possible
He doesn't get enough credit for the type of guy he is ... People say he pouts. He doesn't pout. He's (ticked) off when things don't go his way on the field. We all get mad, but he gets more criticism than the rest of us. He practices all the time, never complains. He doesn't complain after games. He do...
They’re a good offense, number one, especially with Carson [Palmer] now throwing the ball ... They’re powerful, you know the offensive line blocks well, Michael Bush is a big guy. They’ve got speed everywhere there’s no doubt about that. It’s a big challenge for us with the physicality of their offense.

They’ve got speed everywhere there’s no doubt about that. It’s a big challenge for us with the physicality of their offense.
We're getting better every week ... We feel like there are still some things we can do better, but we're winning games, that's all that matters. We're getting takeaways at the right time, still giving up a few too many big plays and making a few too many mistakes. But we're making plays, scoring on defe...
Nothing against Caleb [Hanie], but we’re going to have to step up on defense and play better ... He’ll do a good job. We just have to play better on defense.
I wish it wasn't the issue, but I think you look at the way we're set up, in my mind, we're still a defensive team and (on) special teams, we can score at any time, which is a good thing
Our mindset right now is we’re going to have to carry this team
He's our leader ... The guy we turn to for pretty much everything.
It was devastating, it was horrible, and I felt worse for him than I did for us ... It stinks for us because he's having such a great year. He's our leader; he's a guy we turn to for pretty much everything. So it's bad for us as a team, but it's worse for him as an individual. He's having a great year. ...
Caleb will be fine ... To me, we have to play better on defense now, that's all it says to me. Nothing against Caleb, but we have to step up on defense and play better. Caleb did a good job for us last year in the playoff game. He'll do a good job, and we just have to play better on defense, that's all ...
We're going to have to play better ... That's our mind-set right now is we're going to have to carry this team. We can do that. We've done it in the past. We've just got to do it again. No more mistakes from us.
To me, we have to play better on defence now ... That's our mind-set right now; we're going to have to carry this team.
It was horrible ... I felt worse for him than for us. Stinks for us because he’s having such a great year, and he’s our leader. He’s a guy we turn to for pretty much everything. It's bad for us as a team but worse for him as an individual.
We've been able to run the ball … so we'll rely on Matt and Marion (Barber) quite a bit
