Quote"Last year left a bitter taste in our mouth, but it gave us a lot of confidence that we can get over the hump," he said. "I feel like we're the best team in the league right now, and we have to go out every Sunday and prove it."
QuoteBut Trotter thinks this is a team that will be carried by its defense, and he believes the Eagles have a defense that's capable of becoming the best in the NFL.
"We had an outstanding unit when I was in Washington my first year (in 2002), but nothing compared to the defense we have now -- nothing," he said. "We feel like we can be the No. 1 defense in the league."
Then he listed the team goals.
"We want to get turnovers -- allow the least points," he said. "We have the ability to do that. If we go out and execute the game plan, anything can happen.
"We want to step it up in other areas, too -- stopping the run, improving on third downs, getting on and off the field. That plays a major role as you go along in the season, cutting the reps down."
Quote"I can just focus strictly on defense, where last year it was really tough because I had to learn special teams and try to relearn our defense," he said. "I can just concentrate on watching extra film, getting my guys ready to line up Monday night."
I can see you drooling from here Phreak. :-D

Tell me about it. If you're watching the game and the camera suddenly goes into the stands and you see a bunch of Falcon fans running for their lives....
that's me. Sorry for the distraction. :evil
That article made me sleepy. I think I'll go take a nap.

Same over here. Even though I have an 8am-7pm shift on Tuesday, I'll be up and wide awake watching at 2am BST Tuesday morning. (After all, isn't that what they make No-Doze for?) :-D

Bob, my plan is get home from work on Monday, straight to sleep, set the alarm for 1:45 and you should be at least SOME use at work the next day!
Trotter looks more fired up on the field this year than he ever did. I expect a monster year from him.
I always take the next day off following an Eagles opener. Of course, I'm usually at the stadium for the game and then have to fly home the following day but you get the gist.
Just take the day off and bask in the glow of another Eagles demolition of the Falcons.
I know I will.
