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.
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.
I think Kerry was pretty upset. He enjoyed being in New York. He misses us as much as many of us miss him. It's going to be tough to see him wearing Raiders black and silver.
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.
It was a tough game. We won, but barely. And once the game started the fans went back to rooting for the Chiefs.
It's been hard for me because I had a good relationship with Kerry. It'll be tough to see him in other colors.
Oh, ho, ho, ho. I've seen Kerry when he's hot, and he's a tough guy to stop. I think he was very hurt when all that happened. He was pretty upset. He really enjoyed being in New York, and he misses New York.
Kerry enjoyed being in New York. He enjoyed this group. The guy can still do it and I know he'll be up for the challenge. It's going to be tough seeing him wearing that Raiders' black.
It was what it was last year. You kind of expected things to happen the way they did. This year's a different year and everybody's looking at it with a positive attitude.
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.
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.
I've always thought this year would be his year. And after what happened last week, we definitely needed to come up with a big game at home.
Conceptually, it's an advantage for us. But you never know how it's going to turn out when you play the game.
