When the Eagles lost Hugh [defensive end Hugh Douglas] that year, they had to go out and get Jevon Kearse. If you don't fill that void, you're going to be lacking on that pass rush on the outside. They couldn't get to the passer without blitzing, so that's why they had to pay the money to get Freak.

We know we are a nasty defence. We know we are a good defence, but last year we didn't have enough takeaways, ... That's a focus for us this year, getting the ball.

It should have been more than that. When you hit the quarterback, especially with the crown of your helmet, that's the price you pay.

When the whistle blows, it's hit and tackle. ... Are you going to put a knot on somebody?

I don't think it escalated to the point where anybody should have got kicked out of the game.

[Asked yesterday if] justice has been served, ... No, no, no... You never want a fellow athlete to get hurt like that... My prayers go out to him and his family. I hope he has a speedy recovery and he can come back 100 percent. In this game, you trash-talk all the time. I've been through two knee surgeries and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.
