The time we got beat we blitzed a whole ton and we weren't even in the ballgame. We got ripped. The best we've played them was when we were completely conservative defensively. That's our style.
It was a chance I shouldn't have taken. They had a good plan and executed it well. They blitzed early on, but we did a pretty good job of picking it up. After that, they kept seven and eight back in coverage a lot of the time.
I blitzed a lot in college. But these were the first sacks of my career and I'm very excited about it.
Brian threw the ball real well, ... He was very accurate today and I thought he did his best job of reading and taking what the defense gave us because they played us a little bit different than we thought they would coverage-wise, dropped guys a little deeper, blitzed us more on first down. So they had a pretty good plan coming in and we had to adjust a little bit.
They may have blitzed a little bit more. That's what you do when you have a quarterback change -- you go after him. That stuff happens. You just have to get ready for it and try and make a play, maybe take advantage of their aggressiveness and make a play off of that.

What people have done is try to be patient, and then they try to go after it and then they get burned, particularly when there's no safety in the middle of the field. People that have blitzed with six- and seven-man pressures have gotten in trouble by being overly aggressive.
Most of my catches came over the middle, out of a three-receiver set. They stacked up once or twice. They blitzed a guy guarding me.
Early in the game, they blitzed a few times and we picked it up. We made a few plays downfield and I think it scared them away for a little bit.
Generally, when you throw for a lot in this league you're behind on the scoreboard. They blitzed us a lot today, so we had some opportunities in the passing game.
Everybody says, 'Well, you've gotta blitz.' Well, it doesn't make sense to blitz if you don't cover people. And we even blitzed and didn't get there.
