They're playing well together, that's the biggest thing. Offensive line is less about the man-to-man match-ups and more about how the different layers work with each other to stop the defensive line as a group.
I really loved playing with Kerry and I just respected him a lot as a person, not only as a player.
He's given the entire receiving corps an opportunity to make plays. I can't explain what happened last year. I don't want to even try to explain it. But we're playing well and it's exciting to know again that if you get open you might even get the ball in a spot that you can do something with it.
I can't understand that. I mean we are playing for a championship. I just can't understand that.
Everybody said how tough it was to play in Kansas City, that the fans are really on the opposing team, but when we came out, they were cheering.
I'm not pointing any fingers, but there were a lot of things going on besides the fact I had a pulled hamstring.
I have no real comment, ... I just feel like we won. Leave it at that.
It's been hard for me because I had a good relationship with Kerry. It'll be tough to see him in other colors.
It's related to Eli and the time the line has given him to make plays,
Eli took a huge step forward today, ... I always thought this year would be his year to really step out.
Eli, he's progressing. You can see flashes. He's definitely going in the right direction.
Everybody was talking about how tough it is to play in Kansas City. Yet we came onto the field and everyone was so supportive. It was strange to get that kind of greeting in another team's stadium. Everyone was so sympathetic.
Conceptually, it's an advantage for us. But you never know how it's going to turn out when you play the game.
Did he say that? Wow. Well, he's the guy that can do it.
