Putting pressure on the quarterback was an issue for your defense at times during the course of this season I thought it was a real issue last night it didn't seem as though. You're in Sanchez's face as much as you'd like today.
Groom at the same time he was -- them all -- you -- me. From the time we deeply personal here outside the pocket on the one -- it was on silent you know the pocket collapse. You know what you know such as instances and they if you know who plays with its feet drops out of pocket. And you know there was pressure from a -- It wasn't like he was sitting up in -- parking and given tar. Balls come quick. In terms you. If a guy when I'm blocked part wanna go so. You review progress and a few minutes ago budget things. So you know point on negative things what we should've done while we do unto others as you know we didn't make plays that we can play and we kept him in the game. -- in the we pay for. I saw you. Leaving the stadium. Saw Bob Kraft has already talked to him briefly in and out of stating why did you leave the stadium.

You have to be -- just take a step back to see what to -- situation for you to turn up and get their turn. This situation for me was known art department of -- me that. Carruthers is our emotions. For a part of that. So. At that time a Windows Vista is not to be able to see -- from in the median. Talk about you know -- devil's advocate at the captain do you feel like it's your it's your responsibility to do it -- you have to be here. After a loss and talked and talked to the meeting now have to do you care -- care. Our desire to be here are due process be. Counting -- evidence that's -- it is because gentlemen have to speak to me. -- you know some actresses. Well. That's just a respect for -- from. I mean now going to the media because I know.

Callers have asked I'll ask you directly. Did bills benching of Wes Welker for the first series have any adverse effect on your football team at all psychologically if for no other reason.

I don't know I don't know you know that's devastating man. Make an appointment wolf. What we represented. But I wouldn't I wouldn't and I think that's that's just me. This -- is doing by you know. These game of the year so far and I wanted to be sprint -- me don't feel. I mean that's just me that's me it might have an opinion that's my opinion I want it done. Are you ever find you guys ever attempted mean with the exception of one guy west's. Everybody. Took the jets comments in stride nobody said anything west didn't and paid the consequences for we are you ever tempted to say things of course. Of course and you know that's that's best of that's one thing because we know we sit back we are -- you know talk in the median and -- that at some point -- Agassi in. From queens where we come from most of us. There you you'll pop. -- by talks unique way. Mean it is clear to. Users and it. Yet been beaten me two questions in all situations the game's always want -- So. We now be talking. To the room for you wouldn't talk much pain teams talk in the media right there. He shoot you was bold vision -- and -- It was a case. I mean Bart -- you know some of the stuff via -- say. Had attempted to grab -- felt like I hate people who play like I say everything that they say they -- right you can't. That we can see him point -- where we think about it we have to think about they'd be backed up into word so. Even from mark on his -- the back of his word so they're -- an extra and his move from here.
We've -- in Hawaii in two weeks earlier. And after that. Probably the weirdest offseason you'll ever experience in your career with the lack of the CIA and all the question marks and you figured out how this gonna go.
And -- I mean. Their spirits up four. To lead to come away it and you know when our team. Hopefully we have just -- some golf quick enough force. Because -- no plan. Not being able to play America's sport I don't think it benefits. No distinct. -- defense. -- defense can hurt by our. The players get hurt because you know not do what they love.
