We're just smarter on defense now. We made a lot of mistakes last season because we weren't communicating that well, but now we've really come together. We all understand where we're supposed to be and it shows.
More Quotes from John Thornton:
If we would have blown the Chiefs out, it wouldn't have helped us next week. I know it looks bad today, but as players we just come back tomorrow and get ready.John Thornton
We need to go play well and get our confidence back. It'll be good in the sense that we have another game to play (before the playoffs). We haven't played well at home in the last three games.
John Thornton
It's about poise. It doesn't matter if it's your first time in or if you've been there before, it only matters what you do once you get there. Everybody has different stories about how they got in and what they did once they got there, but all that matters is you win now and you keep going.
John Thornton
It took the running game out. They still tried to run a few drives. Once we got up 14-0 and 21-0, we really didn't worry about the run game. It was just trying to keep Culpepper in the pocket and make him throw from there.
John Thornton
There are going to be games when there will be adversity. You can't get down, because I don't think we're a fluke. A whole lot of people might think we're a fluke, and teams that think they're a fluke are going to get down on themselves.
John Thornton
Just to see the kind of passion we played with in that game, even when things didn't go right. That's how you've got to play. And when you don't, the result will be what happened (in Kansas City) when you don't play a game like everything's on the line.
