20 Quotes by Stephen Alexander

There wasn't one thing, but a collective effort. When one guy breaks down on offense, the entire play is shot.

There was no excuse for it. We'd run the ball great throughout training camp and the preseason until the Miami game.

They're pretty base in what they do. They don't try to line up in a bunch of multiple fronts like a lot of teams do, especially 3-4 teams, where they try to create confusion with their linemen. They've got great run-support safeties who come up and make plays. Their linebackers and defensive line are physical. These guys line up and play football.

They're all strong guys, physical, smart, heady players. They do a lot of different stuff, at times, especially in some passing situations - they'll have guys everywhere . . . sometimes it's just crazy.

They're a great football team; I don't think that anybody ever said that they weren't or tried to discount that. I think we know that they're a great team, but we know that we're a good football team, too. Not a lot of people give us a lot of credit, but that's fine. We're just going to go out and play football.

It's just crazy to think as long as I've played and not ever had the opportunity to be in the position we're in. That's something I hope everybody realizes, that it doesn't happen that often. So when it does happen, you have to take advantage of it.

It looks like up front they've just gotten after people so bad.

I know when I was going through the draft how stressful that was for me, sitting around all day.

If you look at it, they're definitely not selfish people. Whatever it takes. Troy Brown playing defense is a little more crazy than putting a corner at safety, but it's not that much different. They know the coverage schemes and where everybody's got to be. But they've got a lot of guys that are interchangeable.
