00:05I think when I look back at that game, we had a lot of turnovers, and I felt like within
00:14that setting that as good as that offense was clicking, you feel a little bit of pressure
00:20on offense to go score for score, and you don't want to fall behind by two scores against
00:25a good team like that.
00:27I might have been a little bit more aggressive with the play calls and got away from the
00:30game plan a little bit based on how that game went, and at the end of the day, you take
00:35care of the football, that game goes maybe a different direction, and that's been the
00:40last two weeks for us in general is we've done a good job taking care of the football
00:44for the most part, and we've been taking the ball away from the opposing offense, and so
00:49I think that's a big indicator of how well we'll do this week.
00:53I think, man, you need to play complementary football to beat this team.
00:57This is a really good football team.
00:59I think Dan Quinn's an outstanding coach.
01:02He has been, whether it was Atlanta or Washington now, I mean, it really doesn't matter.
01:06He's fielded good teams.
01:08These guys play hard.
01:10They play inspired football.
01:11You know, there are a lot of similarities between what we faced a couple weeks ago with the
01:15Raiders and a Pete Carroll-led team and a Dan Quinn-led team, in my opinion.
01:20I think, you know, I say it when you turn on the tape and you see special teams playing so
01:26fast,
01:26so violent, so physical.
01:27I think that says a lot about your football team.
01:30I like to think we do the same thing on our side, led by Coach Hightower there.
01:35But that's, I just, I can't say enough good things about the identity.
01:40You know, it's physical, it's fast, and you can tell that they're a really unified group.
