Keith Bulluck Quotations

Until we as a team understand that fact, the things we do that are really, really, really, hurting us, will be there every week.

Nothing changes with Tennessee. We lost a few main components of the team this year, but a good team is able to rebuild and come back, sometimes even stronger. Even without Jevon and Eddie, nothing changes for us. We're going to handle our business as planned. We've knocked on the door, but this year we're going to kick it in.

I don't even think we did anything to rattle him,

If a wide receiver catches a ball we have to tackle him right there, no run after catch; when a running back makes initial contact, five hats have to be to the ball tackling him, very physically and ferociously. We didn't do that (Sunday against Pittsburgh). We have to get to that.

Fortunately Peter picked it up. But unfortunately it was him because he was playing on half a leg. Last week or the week before that he scores on that, but not today.

I almost feel a little sympathy for them, ... Because every time they dropped back to pass, they couldn't get the ball off.

He kind of set the tone for the way he wants his season to go. I don't know if he responded to me or to himself. But whatever it was, I got what I wanted from him.

I think that we are going to be able to play with anybody in this league,

My mentality is I ball until I fall. I'll go out there next week and whatever happens to it happens to it, but we have to get this straightened out so I definitely have to be out there.

Me, I'm feeling fine. Honestly, I'm feeling fine. I know I'll be out there on Sunday, and I don't plan on missing a beat. I was in tune with practice today. It was like a mental day for me.

That's the thing, nobody really knows what we did and what we accomplished. In the last 11 games of the year, our backs were to the wall. We were 1-4 and facing elimination from the playoffs in early October, and we battled back and got all the way to the AFC Championship Game. That's doing something.

That's what football's all about. It's supposed to be fun and exciting, and if you don't enjoy your job, then you don't really need to be out there doing it,

I would like to see a hungry personality out of the team. Those who are hungry find any way to eat. This team is not eating.

Michael Vick, I'd rather watch him. Getting the 'Michael Vick Experience' in the preseason, the second preseason game, that wouldn't be high on my wish list. But we're going to get out there, fly around, have a good time and make some plays on defense.

We cannot stop the run. I'm used to guys not getting 100 yards on us all year long. Someone has had 100 yards on us for I don't know how many games in a row.

At the end of the day I respect everyone on this team as a man. And I love the guys that I play with. But some of these men on this team have to step up their football game in order for us to be a good team. We need football players. We are filling roster spots, but we need football players.

There's no way we're supposed to lose 40-7 when we played them close last time. I'm not here to point fingers at nobody. You've got to ask those guys if they gave up, and if they tell you they gave up, then they gave up. I didn't see anyone give up.

Our defense has definitely grown. Last week I was proud we were able to make that stop to get off the field on third down and give our offense a chance, ... This week's another big test.

Albert's performance was something we should see from Albert every week. Sometimes he does it, and sometimes he doesn't. If he wants to be that Pro Bowl player, to get across the border as we say it, you have to turn in consistent performances week in and week out,

This is a team that, yes, is young, but we're trying to get better every week. Obviously, we haven't gotten over that hump.

They're a 1-1 team just like we're a 1-1 team.

They have an explosive offense. Where this offense was a little more 1-2, they have a 1-2-3-4 punch, ... We'll be all right, we just have to keep working to get better.

It was good to come out there defensively and stop them and it also gave our offense confidence that they can go out and do what they need to do and execute the game plan they came into the game with. Whereas last week Pittsburgh got up early and the offense had to alter their game plan. This week they just stuck with it. They drove and pounded it.

At the end of the year, we have probably one of the softest defenses in the league. That stuff just needs to get better.

I kind of question his running skills because I don't understand why he was cutting back when there was so much green to the right, ... myself and some guys pushed him in the last three yards.

I have to be honest, this one doesn't beat New England a couple of years ago. It was way louder at that game.

If he has to buy it, I'll buy it for him.

I challenged him personally all week to be the leader on defense, set the tone, be the player you want to be. He wants to go to Hawaii, he wants to be a Pro Bowler, he wants to be looked at in the same light as some of the best D-linemen in the league and he definitely can be.

I don't see any problem in talking trash if you are winning. If you are winning games you can say whatever you want to say. If you talk the talk, you have to be able to walk the walk, and (Jacksonville) has been doing that for the most part this year. I know if my team was winning, people would hear my mouth.

All week we stressed the importance of maintaining gaps and attacking downhill and controlling the line of scrimmage.
