We have a strong defense. I love our defense. We work together as a team, like a family.

How will our defense play this year? That?s what I?ve been asking myself. Each day we work at practice on team defense and then individual defensive skills. We are going to be inexperienced in this area.

It's no hidden secret. It's no code you have to break. You have to have solid defense, you have to have good pitching and timely hitting.

I think they're all really active (on defense), ... They have big, physical guys inside, and then their linebackers are always really physical. They fly around the ball, and they're always swarming. They play a real aggressive style of defense. Their entire defense brings an attitude that's just a notch above a lot of other teams in the NFL.

They're a quick team. We have to make sure we get back on defense and limit our turnovers.

Our transition defense wasn't good. Our rotations were wrong and they got some rebounds on the offensive end and that hurt us.
