The No. 1 thing is you have to be able to protect the quarterback, ... If we put pressure on him and stop the run, we'll put ourselves in some good situations.

We didn't have any three-and-outs, a lot of takeaways, a lot of sacks. That's what we thrive on.

I'll bet I have 250 pairs. I can't throw any away because as a kid we got one pair a year. Now I order 20 pairs at a time.

I guarantee you, guys watching that film are seeing plays like [safety Mike Brown's hit on Lions tight end Marcus Pollard], and it's going to be in the back of their head.

I wish it would've happened sooner, because I've hated looking up from the bottom. But it's our turn to be on top for a while now.

We need to reel off three, four, or five (wins) in a row and go from there.
