Gregg Williams Last Quotations

I have a lot of respect for Drew and that family, ... He's a class guy, and I think it's ironic that he got rejuvenated again. He played very, very well last week. I saw it on film and had a big smile on my face. Any time you've got a 140 quarterback rating, I know we've got our work cut out for us. He's got a big arm and when he's hot he is really hot. So we're playing against a much, much better quarterback this week, and a better football team, so defensively we've got our work cut out for us.

Physically, we're stouter at the point of attack then we were at any time last year. We've just had a few runs that popped.

Remember last year? 'Gregg, you can't stop the run with that defensive line.' 'Gregg, these guys can't rush the passer.' I don't know why I didn't cut my wrist and lay in a hot tub of water. Every one of them played with an attitude.

I thought Danny did a remarkable job last year, ... with so many injuries on the defensive side of the ball and how they impacted him. He did an unbelievable job of just getting guys ready to go week in and week out, and we're deeper now than we were at this time last year.

The single hardest thing to do is rush the passer in the last two minutes.

The quickest way to stop an offense is to get to the quarterback. You can play better in coverage when you can make sure the quarterback is unsettled. We didn't do as good a job in it last time. So that's the task at hand.

Emily set the table for us by getting on base. That inning was huge for us. The last five games we're been playing behind. That puts a lot of pressure on the pitching and defense.

As a defense, we've got to make them earn what they get a lot harder than what we did the last time.

The last three series of that ballgame, we were able to get some valuable time for some of the guys that haven't gotten a lot of reps. We were able to divide up the reps. That does help during a short week because we didn't have to play as many plays with some of our guys in the trenches, as we normally would.
