Tom Zbikowski Quotations

That's our team. We're way too competitive. We're not just going to, as coach says, 'Slap it out there.' We're going to go out there, and plays are going to be made, people are going to be hit.

That's only one-third of the game. I'm pretty sure their offense and our defense are pretty important, too.

We have to stay on our receivers even if it looks like he's running. He could still throw it. We have to contain and not be over aggressive.

I would have done this for free, just to fight in Madison Square Garden.

I always stand up on the bench. I'm waiting to see Brady do something. It's fun to watch them.

Eighty percent of the plays against us last year went for 2 yards or less. It was the big plays that killed us. If we can cut down on the big plays, we're going to be a lot more dominant defense.

I don't really see that happening to us.

He just wanted to get all the details cleared up, and then he gave me permission.

This is a BCS game. That other stuff has nothing to do with us. (This year), there is a lot of maturity with the guys. Coach, with his experience in the NFL, gives us that extra edge.

Coming into the Big House and getting a win shows we can play anywhere with anybody.
