We're always trying to find ways to lower interceptions and stuff. My nature, I'm aggressive. I'll take shots, I'll take chances; therefore, you have mistakes,
Our house survived I say that because there are 50 people there,
Right now, the dust is settling and all you can do is think, 'Where do we go from here? Where do you start?' ... You can't call the local carpenter to come build your house. His house is gone, too.
He had just a phenomenal year last year. I think anyone who has any football sense at all knows that these five games (are) no indication of what type of quarterback he is,
Had we gotten into the playoffs, I don't know if anybody would have wanted to play us. If we would have gotten in, I liked our chances. Who would have said that five weeks ago?
He may have been best player I've ever seen and certainly was the best I've ever played with or against,
From the outside, you really wouldn't notice, but it may have been just five or six plays where I felt like I could have dodged a (defender) or made a throw, ... Last year, maybe I dodged a guy, but I was not able to make a throw, or made a throw and was not accurate. I wanted to have a little more stamina and within a 5-yard box be quicker.
My older brother, Scott, was swimming around the house trying to get the kids. My younger brother, Jeff, has three little kids. They were trying to get them up in the attic. My grandmother, who is almost 90, they were trying to get her up in the attic or on top of a washing machine or a counter or whatever. Fortunately, they all survived. But now, as bad as that was, the worst is yet to come.
My mom, two brothers, their families, my grandmother, my aunt and my uncle are all in a like a 25-square foot house with no power and a tree on top of it,
Guys just stepped up to the plate and hit home runs. It was fun to be in a game like that.
I would love to go in. I thought about getting to Tennessee tonight and driving in with some supplies.
Mike had his mind made up Saturday, but we didn't know until Sunday. Until I went out there and took the first snap, you don't know. I might have just gone, 'I can't do it.' Once the newness wears off and the toughness wears off, 'I just can't do it.' And I was probably as immobile as I've ever been. I couldn't do anything.
I said, 'Are you ready for Daddy to quit football?' She said, 'Yeah, I'm ready for you to quit playing football so you can live with us (Deanna and the two girls) full-time in Mississippi.'
I said, 'You know, Darrell, if I decide to come back, I feel like the last two or three years, I cheated myself - which obviously ends up cheating your teammates - as far as being in the best shape physically and mentally that you can possibly be in,'
