-- NFL teams have gone undefeated during the regular season but what do you in his defense take -- -- -- life. Would say that we have to come ready for full quarters and we'll get everybody's best shot. We have to understand that we've been talked about it before first time seeing it today who wanna get everything especially when you for letting him play would you are not. Especially when you -- today how's -- going to -- this shot running game passing game office of our defense line they come out to play because they know they mean something beat us so. We have to understand that from all said and not come out and be ready compete. This is the first team you face this season that I -- range game and has an explosive receivers as well have a traditional running game that maybe wasn't in the first two it was a different you thought the Vikings. The -- surprises defense a little better maybe weren't as prepared for. We were prepared. And I felt like you know they really get off with the running game tonight early in the fourth quarter. Go -- -- at mile sixteen catches for thirty some yards and then you know and a broken a couple of here here and missed tackles so. You know fellow we're prepared is just a mindset going out there each and every snap and get it done and -- -- Martinez -- mark. We've gone there were physical we play football was stopped around we get turnovers and we make plays and you know fought football game you know we're dropping or his -- over. But we have some work to do and it's a sense of urgency around and -- -- get back to work I'm -- to -- what did you learn about Christian Ponder that you didn't see on the film. Eyes a little faster than you actually think he is. You can actually tell -- he's very very competitive. He wants to win. And I made some good throws today you know so hat goes off to him he's in better -- to win. You know bonus for us we have to give back give back and working it's as bad -- arm around him last time for me this may be a little bit of a wake up call for this team not that they lost focus -- Last year at this team came from behind all the time this year that may not be the case yes I'm going to be case you know national hunting people and now we're behind it.
