played
Look at his quotes. He did say they should have played harder,
gas kept ran totally toward willpower
I was totally gassed. I ran out of gas at the 30-yard line. Only willpower kept me going toward the end zone.
believed nobody season
I said it before the season and I believed it. I said this was a championship-level team. We believed that, even if nobody else did.
blows knows respect whistle
I respect his game, but he knows when the whistle blows we'll go at each other's throats.
course
Over the course of time, I could feel it getting tighter and tighter,
game
I take it one play, one game at a time, ... I don't look any further.
changed emotions
It changed the emotion, it changed the momentum,
afraid ball cross goal hoping knew
I was afraid that it went out of the end zone, but I really wasn't sure. All I knew was that he got me right before I got to the pylon, so I was hoping the ball didn't cross the goal line.
doubt pads
If I'm in pads during the week, I'm probably going to play. So, there's no doubt that I'll probably be out there. As long as I don't have any setbacks, I'll be fine.
anywhere
I feel like we're unbeatable anywhere we play.
above ball balls catch far head keeps pick wrong
I can't go too far above my head because of it. It keeps me from going in the wrong direction. I can still catch balls and pick the ball off.
behind expected guys opportunity ready
I expected that because we've got guys behind (Williams) that are ready to play and want to get out there. They had their opportunity to get out there and play and they did well.
expect sit
I expect to play every play. I want to play, that's what I'm here for. I don't expect to sit out.
deal normal
I don't think it will ever be back to normal this year. That's just something I've got to deal with. It's going to be painful, but it's nothing I can't play with.
