That game was what football was all about. We went out there and shut them down on offense. It was our first playoff game in a while. At home. New Year's Eve. It was one of those things you dream about as a kid.

We are all suffering, but we have to do it to take care of ourselves.

Jim's the kind of guy that doesn't want to sit back and let the offense dictate what's going on. If it's third-and-8, we're going to bring pressure at you and make you throw a three-yard route before you want to. Last year, we caused people to make bad plays.

We hardly talked at all about football.

Omar does a nice job taking care of the football. We do a good job coaching that ... stressing getting rid of the ball on time and protecting our quarterback. We do a nice job with him inside the system and don't throw a lot of high-risk plays.

You have to take care of the football first and foremost, but the effort was outstanding. I cannot tell you that I was disappointed with the kid's effort.
