snarling after Scott highlighted their inability to finis

Atlanta Falcons coach Dan Quinn dismissed Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Leodis McKelvins description of the Falcons as a front-runner on Monday.We are for damn sure not going to allow anyone else to determine our team identity, Quinn told reporters. Weve got a tough outfit. We know what we stand for as a club, and well leave it at that.After the Eagles?24-15 victory?over the Falcons at Lincoln Financial Field, McKelvin said Philadelphias defense saw a weakness to exploit against Atlanta, which boasted the NFLs top offense.I was telling the defense, this is the type of team, they are a front-runner. They are a front-running team, McKelvin said. If you go out there and make some stops, they eventually are going to be dying down.Falcons free safety Ricardo Allen echoed Quinns thoughts that the Falcons dont dwell on opinions outside their building in comments to ESPNs Vaughn McClure.Everybodys got their opinion, man. Theres always going to be someone who comes out and says something to try and challenge another team, Allen told ESPN. We dont worry about people on the outside. We dont worry about nobody else. We just worry about ourselves. We worry about who we are as a team because we know who we are. And we know when were playing really good ball, were one of the best around.We stay in our locker room. We dont worry about when anybody else talks about us. We dont even bring that stuff up. I didnt even hear about [McKelvins comments], so I dont even really care about that stuff. You can talk all you want to. Have fun with that. I aint with the talking. I play ball. I just want to play ball, man.The NFC South-leading Falcons (6-4) have a bye this week.Cheap Jerseys .

What I say here really has zero impact, and in some ways, what weve said to the players wont be tested until we see how we come out in the first 10 or 15 minutes this week.Scott said the Cats would not underestimate the Lions, who despite their rotten three-win season have occasionably troubled top sides, including Sydney at the Gabba earlier in the year.Im not trying to talk Brisbane up as a great team but they were 40 points up at half-time on the weekend against a team (Carlton) that beat us a few months ago, he said.Whatever Geelong serves up, Leppitsch is hopeful Brisbane can counter it for Merretts sake.Hes been a mainstay through a pretty ordinary era at our footy club and hes been a very loyal servant and we thank him for that, he said.Lets hope all of us can fire up for Rog.
