They've been running the hell out of the ball the last couple weeks. They've been blowing people out. It was about stopping the run and making them go into third-and-long situations. We did a good job of getting third-and-long.
More Quotes from Monty Beisel:
You have to look at what they've done the last three of four years. To come in here and play with the type of guys they have was something that impressed me. Anytime you're in the NFL it's all about opportunity and what you can do with your career. And when you have coach Belichick sit you down and tell you what you want to hear, it's almost in the bag.Monty Beisel
The Patriots were not shy about abandoning their 3-4 defensive front once it was obvious that Raiders were having their way early on in the first half. Props to defensive coordinator Eric Mangini, too. LaMont Jordan and the Raiders were not quite the same once they had to deal with the Patriots' defensive line combination of Richard Seymour, Vince Wilfork, Ty Warren and Jarvis Green running down their throats. The four were able to create pressure, cause a key turnover (interception by Wilfork) and get a few negative plays at critical points. Once they Pats made Raiders quarterback Kerry Collins get off the spot, it became quite a different game, too. We were able to set the edge, ... Once we did that, it seemed to go a lot better.

It was gut wrenching. To come into our house as a 2-1 team and to lose to Diego the way we did, I mean, they beat us in all phases. They had us against the ropes all day and they left here with the KO.

It doesnt get any easier all year in the return game. Once they see that early in the year, theyre going to attack the same things youve had problems with, so were definitely going to have to get it fixed pretty soon.

Hes definitely a fast guy. What he brings is a whole different element. Theyve got three different styles of backs and youve got to defend each one. Top that off with the receiving core theyve got and (quarterback Ben) Roethlisberger and theyve got a lot of weapons they can bring at you. Weve got a full plate.

When I was young, I was too slow. I thought I must learn to run fast by practicing to run fast, so I ran 100 meters fast 20 times. Then I came back, slow, slow, slow.
