I was scrambling and I hit (tight end) Anthony Becht as he was going out of bounds,
fourth power quarter runs
The power that he runs with in the fourth quarter is amazing.
alter injuries overcome
We've overcome injuries before. I don't think it's going to alter anything we do.
close joey line routes talk
Joey and I have a very close relationship; we talk about routes like that all the time. When we come up to the line of scrimmage in that situation, we have two routes in mind.
asked few pro
He's going to go to a few Pro Bowls. He's completely unfazed by what he's been asked to do.
given lightly mean next orleans prepared problems
We just have to come prepared to play next week. And I mean that. We can't take New Orleans (3-12) lightly because they've given us problems before.
backs five reason running three top
I already think he's one of the top five running backs in the league. In two or three years, there is no reason he shouldn't be No. 1 or No. 2.
belief close game games last ourselves reason ways whatever win
I would say our will to win, our belief in ourselves when the game is getting tight. Last year, we were in a lot of close games but for whatever reason we just didn't find ways to win them.
came stretch
He really came up big down the stretch there.
beat confident depth guy happen injuries miss responds second string teams week whether
Injuries are going to happen week in and week out in the NFL; it's how your depth responds to that. You see some teams that are demoralized by injuries. I think we're one team that has depth at just about every position. We're confident we won't miss a beat whether it's the first string guy or the second string guy.
believe far matter
If there's one thing that we know that we are, it's battle-tested. We're not intimidated by situations, as far as being down by a touchdown or 10 points. We believe that we can get it done no matter what the circumstance.
carrying team
He's just a workhorse. He's unbelievable. He's carrying our team right now.
hit laying quick saw tried warm
I didn't see Griese even get hit and then I saw him laying on the ground. I tried to warm up as quick as possible.
carrying field open respect talented team
He's unbelievable. He's so talented in the open field and when you look at him, you don't think he has the power. I've got a lot of respect for him. He's carrying our team right now.
