I think he was kind of surprised about the number of guys they let go. I still don't think he has made up his mind about whether to play next season. 'This might sway him to retire, or he could decide to try it another year or two.
It will be weird coming out of the visitors' locker room, but once I step on that field I've got a job to do and my job is to beat the guy across from me,
He just needs to calm down a little bit. He wants to make a play so bad sometimes. A couple of times, he got pressured and tried to get the ball out quickly. But with guys on your back, it's hard to do that. He needs to stay composed like the player he is.
How many guys were here for the Super Bowl year?' Probably five guys raised their hands,
I've still got my memories, ... I still love the place, still enjoy going down there. I still love the fans.
every day, knowing that this team has a history and that we have the potential to go back and win it again very, very soon.
That was my main thing coming here, to be with a young team, a team that has the potential to win a Super Bowl now. Not next year, not two years from now, but now, ... And not to have to play this defense one or two times a year and possibly have to face them in the playoffs.

He showed flashes, but it's got to be consistent. There's no more really you can say other than that.
We can't keep making mistakes, we can't keep playing like this. It's demoralizing to lose, even worse to have your starting quarterback get hurt. That's depressing in itself. We're going to stick together, and get better.
Rex has the 46 in his heart and he feels he has the players to play it. And we do.
With a healthy Steve, your chances of winning go up dramatically. Knowing Steve and what kind of competitor he is, he's going to do all he can to put them in position to win.
The good thing about it is we've practiced with Anthony. He got an opportunity to play in the second half. It's not like we're in Week 9 or 10 and all of a sudden you throw him in there.
