As I talked with (coach) Mike (Sherman) after that game that night, I really didn't know. If I had to make a decision at that particular time, which I knew I didn't, I was not coming back (for the 2005 season),
You can lose a game but, I see guys every week including myself, you lose a game, it's a tough loss, you're down, two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it's amazing how down you were, but all of the sudden you're like it never happened.
With each game I play, each season I play, everyone would agree with me, I'm running out of chances.
Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game.
The way I played the game, the way I live my life, is very emotional.
There was a time when all I cared about was the next game, the next party, the next tee time.
Every game I've ever played, regardless if it was pre-season or Super Bowl, meant the same to me, and I laid it all on the line.
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,
Guys just stepped up to the plate and hit home runs. It was fun to be in a game like that.
The things we needed on defense, he stepped up to the plate.
Was he saying that after we beat Detroit? I wonder what he says now? 'Maybe he can stick around a little longer.'
There's no airport. Pretty much everyone is better off staying put.
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.
