I'd like to go out and play. You don't want to sit there and be rusty for the next week. I'd like to get out there and get some snaps for however long that coach thinks is necessary.

Obviously it hurts us to have Duce and Jerome hurt, but ... I am excited to watch Willie Parker play this week. He is a fast guy. He has got a lot of moves.

Obviously, the strength of our offense again is going to be our offensive line, ... I think that will help in our run game and in the passing game.

Obviously that helps fuel the fire a little bit. But you move on.
beard bit depression ended game kept lose lost mad next people shave until winning won
I was so mad that we lost the game. I kind of went into a depression and didn't shave and we ended up winning the next game. And I am kind of superstitious - just a little bit to people who know me - but we won that game and I said I am just going to keep it going until we lose and we kept it going. I don't really like the beard you know. But we were winning so I had to keep it going.
Oh, wow. That's tough. I'd probably have to go with Willie.

My job is to lead this team, ... We knew it was going to be a battle and a challenge. We made some mistakes, but we had each other's backs when we need to have it and pulled through.

Nobody gave us a chance last week and that's fine with us.
bring defense few guys hard identify move people plays similar
No one plays a similar defense to what we play. I think our guys move around so much it's hard to identify who people are. I think with (the Texans), they kind of show you what they have and then they'll bring a few things off of it.
chance except firing game guys knew locker win
No one thought we could win this game except for the guys in that locker room. We knew if we wanted a chance to win, we had to come out firing on all cylinders.

I'm a lot more comfortable. I understand what's going on a little bit more and hopefully, it will translate into better football.

I have a lot of confidence in my offensive line, ... I think (it) will do a great job of protecting me.
felt gave offensive touched
I felt really comfortable out there. A lot of that has to do with the offensive line. They gave me a lot of time. I didn't get touched too much today.
