What type of challenge does Miami's defense present?

"They're extremely physical. And any time you play a 3-4 team, the personnel that it takes to play in that system - you look at guys like Jason Taylor and Joey Porter that have been guys that easily could put their hands down and play defensive end but all of a sudden they're these stand-up, pass-rush linebackers and they bring a physical presence. Both safeties are very aggressive, get up in the front a lot, make a lot of tackles. Both corners are very solid. I think all the way around, it's probably the most complete defense that we have played against in regards from man to man. You just don't look at them and see any weaknesses."

How do you channel the success you had last week against the Giants' defense into confidence this game against the Dolphins?

"That was a big win for us last week in a big atmosphere, a big-time game. I think that the more games like that you play in, the more confidence you build and the more momentum you gain and that's what you can carry over into the next opponent. Anything else is just wiping the slate clean each week. It's a new team, they run a totally different scheme, really offensively and defensively. For us it's right back to the drawing board in regards to game plan and how we're going to attack these guys. The fact is that we don't look at the Miami team that played the first three weeks of the season; these guys in the last couple of weeks have been as strong as any team out there. For us to be a good team and a great team -which is what we're trying to be - we have to be able to put victories back-to-back against really steady and tough opponents. We knocked the first one in the Giants and now we have to go to Miami and take care of business there."

Hate to beat a dead horse, but how did we pass on this guy???
What a humble player... sounds like a great leader.
 
Wow. What a class act. I trust in Hene but its hard to think we passed on Brees. Everything happens for a reason I guess. Now lets go out there and whoop that ***.
 
"Both safeties are very aggressive, get up in the front a lot, make a lot of tackles."

Translation: PA is goin over your heads!!!!
 
What a class act. I'm sure in reality he's licking his chops looking at our secondary, but he's saying the right things. I really wish we had picked this guy up. Oh well. Henne make it happen!!
 
We all new he was a classy guy.. But Henne is our man and i stand behind him 100%.

Brees is a great QB.. I just hope we beat him Sunday.
