"We have to keep that same high we had against the Jets; that's going to be our biggest hurdle," Ekuban said. "And, believe me, it's going to be emphasized a lot more (by the veterans). When we first played Kansas City this season, we were 3-0 and we stressed that week, 'Do not rest on your laurels, don't believe the hype, this is going to be our hardest game.' And we went into Kansas City and got our butts kicked. We stressed the same thing against the Raiders, who were 2-8 and we were coming off a big win against Atlanta, and we got our butts kicked against the Raiders.

"Hopefully, it'll sink in to these young minds that maybe the veterans are actually saying something that's actually true."

again, best non-cut of the season. the urgency and intensity were very obvious in this one. they simply wanted it more. if they can bring something close to that each week, we will be in great shape. hard to do, as they were sacrificing their bodies for this one, but hopefully we can keep this team in a higher gear, so to speak. i think they will bring it on sunday, being swept by herm has to be keeping shanny up at night. keep them on edge, it’s payback time

hear me, perpetrators of bread crime, your punishment is at hand.
taste my blintzkrieg!
