It's a lot different this year. We're looking forward to playing for something. Everybody was kind of down and out last year. Our coach was gone. What were we playing for?
They instilled so much effort, effort, go hard, go hard, that I didn't even realize my helmet was off. I wonder if that is in everybody else's mind. I think it is, and that's why the defense is playing at a different level.
I love it. It's a big personal challenge. It's on me, Marcus Thomas, Steve Harris and Joe Cohen. We're playing to out-physical them, to out-tough them.
