Some of those, to me, are the best plays I've made because my natural inclination as a competitor is to make plays all the time.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims of Hurricane Katrina. All Americans have an obligation to help these people rebuild their lives. I know the Dallas Cowboys have enjoyed a very strong, long-standing relationship with The Salvation Army, and as a member of the Cowboys' family I wanted to join in that support.
His defense, just facing them in practice, was always very tough to deal with. I know he'll have some blitzes for us and will try to make things as hard on me as he can.
Anytime you turn the ball over four times and still end up on top, ... it says a lot about what your defense is doing.
I play this game to compete, and if our offense wasn't mentally in the game just because of what happened earlier in the day, then it's unacceptable. Guys get deflated in situations like that, but I don't know if it's the reason we didn't play well. We would have liked to have finished on a good note but didn't do it.
I haven't changed one bit, ... What I've got is ... guys that are giving me time to throw the ball.
If there's a more valuable player in the league to his team than Troy Brown, I don't know who it would be,
They made an effort to stop Jason today. We tried a couple of times to get him the ball and they had two and three guys on him. But we had to get some other guys involved.
He's staying in the pocket and throwing the long pass, ... This a big-play team all of a sudden.
He's starting to look like the guy we saw at the beginning of the season. I think he's getting back in the mix. As we go forward, you'll see him more involved.
Hopefully, when Julius gets back, it's going to give us a good 1-2 punch.
I don't really get a sense from him at all. I have said all along his energy throughout the season and his energy level at the end of the year does not lead me to believe that he's too tired or too old or whatever to continue to do this.
By 'slowest,' do you mean it took me longer than any of the other nine to reach 40,000 yards?
Hopefully before things get real bad, a team gets built around you and you're able to have some success. That's what happened with me in my second year. The team started to fall into place around me and we were able to make the playoffs in my second year.
