On what the run defense needs to shore up after a poor showing against the Saints last week) "Miami's the number one rushing offense in football and they've earned that, that's for sure, they get after it pretty good. You have to give New Orleans credit, they were able to move the ball on us. I think they were the better team that day. We don't like it, and we've got to try to get ready to match up against a more physical team, probably the most physical team we've faced all year. We're very excited about the challenge, we think we'll be the most physical team that they've faced all year, so this is going to be one of those classic football games."
(On his propensity to blitz at the end of games and why it is getting so much press) "I'm like you, I don't understand it [the attention]. We just play defense, and whether we're bringing the pressure, whether we're laying back, there's time to do both. We blitz quite a bit but I don't think we're reckless with how we blitz, and when we blitz, and why we blitz."
(On how he feels about his pass rush this season overall) "I think if you're just looking at stats, you'd say that: 'man, we cannot even come close to the quarterback, we've been very poor,' and I hope that's the way Miami feels, and all that kind of stuff. I think that if you count hits and pressures and how many times we've disrupted the quarterback, we're probably amongst the league leaders. I think the quarterback rating against us is probably the last, the worst in the league. So sometimes it's not about sacks, sometimes you can have a lot of sacks and still not get consistent pressure on the quarterback. I think we're just the opposite. And I'll be excited to get our number one pass rusher back."
(On his confident talk and the way his team has followed suit) "I'm confident in our football team. I think we have a physical football team and I think we have an outstanding football team. There's no reason not to be confident, and I think we're a very confident team."
