Good one!
I remember a couple of quotes from Marv, the early years, and I was thinking: "YES! This is the attitude we need!".
He said something to the effect (can't remember exact words) of "we need to punch someone in the back of the head". I laughed, because I don't know why he chose that spot, but I liked it.
Also, he said "If you crowd the line, you better be able to cover, because we can throw it over your head"...I think that was before Palmer's first start against the Jets.
Regardless what he says in interviews, he needs to show his team on the field being aggressive. I have long believed that you will get more out of your players when they are put in positions to make plays. The game is simply more fun that way. That is one small reason why Rex Ryan (mostly) excelled as a DC, and his players loved playing for him, but he would be the complete opposite as HC when it came to his offenses....boring, and predictable.
