I said it at the beginning of the season -- (takeaways) was our main goal. We know we are a nasty defense. We know we are a good defense, but last year we didn't have enough takeaways. That's a focus for us this year, getting to the ball.
T.O.'s my friend. Donovan's my friend. They're both good guys, no matter what perception is out there, and when you see two good guys and the chemistry is off you try to help the situation out.
That was our main goal. We know we are a nasty defense. We know we are a good defense. But last year we didn't have enough takeaways. That's a focus for us this year, getting the ball.
He's a guy that he'll respect you if you show respect. That's kind of the way I am. I think he values good leadership; that's important to him. He knows he can only do so much as a coach, that it takes good leaders on the team to go that extra mile.
The fans and everybody wants to see big offensive plays. But it was kind of good the defenses on both teams played well. To go out there and close it out on defense for the NFC was big for us.
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.
I thought the defense played good last week; it was just the running game. I feel like we can stop the run week in and week out. We did a pretty good job of it today.
