I really loved playing with Kerry and I just respected him a lot as a person, not only as a player.
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.
I still consider myself a contributor, a big contributor, ... But I don't know how it's going to play out once the regular season begins.
I've seen Kerry when he's hot and he's a tough guy to stop. So we've got to be up for the challenge. I know we really want to win this division, so if he wants to exact his revenge, we're going to have to do what we can.
This is practice. We don't want anyone to get hurt.
