He stepped up to the plate and did what he had to do without overdoing it and using it as a platform for whatever reasons -- PR purposes or whatever. I really respect that.
approach feeling game good rookie since
We're still in this season, and it's been my approach since I was a rookie to take it one game at a time. I'm feeling good right now, though.

against amazing barry bears couple games granted great guy highlight might others remember saw stands watch
You'd have to say all of them, but Barry Sanders was special. I remember the one highlight film against the Bears -- that's the one that stands out -- and he's had a couple of great games against us.

We're struggling to get back to where we were years ago. It's a cycle.
