Vince Wilfork Quotations

Without Richard, that put a toll on us. Teams started scheming us differently. They didn't have that X factor to worry about. Teams try to run away from him, double him and everything, and that allows the other defensive linemen to make a lot of plays.

We knew we had to pressure the quarterback, knock him off a spot.

We're not going to bow down to anybody, we know what we have to do to compete on this level and it starts with Jacksonville.

The only thing I know is that they're a great team. We wouldn't be playing them if they weren't a good team. Nobody's going to bow down to us, and we're not going to bow down to anybody. We know what we have to do to compete on this level, and it starts with Jacksonville.

I wouldn't want to be a receiver on the other end when Sean Taylor is roaming. I'll bet when we watch film from today, we're going to see when a receiver catches a ball, they're looking for No. 26.

He's a nice guy and fun dude to be around. He likes to win, which is right down our alley.

I don't know if it was more the 4-3 or what. But as the game progressed, we started feeling them out. That first series was the toughest series of the ball game. Just going in and seeing what they were going to do, what we were going to do. We went to 4-3 and that's when we really shut them down.

We had to get the quarterback off his spot. Once I saw Jarvis make a few inside moves, the ball popped out as he tried to throw it, and it was right over one of his offensive linemen's shoulder pads, so I had to reach over his shoulder pads and get it.

We're all happy. I'm sure Seymour's happy. He's probably got a few rust spots, but I think he'll come in and pick up right where he left off.
