He plays older than he is. I'm not saying that he's slow. I'm saying that he plays like he's got more experience. He really understands where he's supposed to be.
If I ever get to the point where I feel like I've proven everything I need to prove, then it's probably time to walk away. I think I still have a lot to offer. I think I can still play the game at a very high level, throw the ball accurately, be a good leader.
I bumped into him this morning and talked to him a little bit. I didn't get a sense from him at all that he was overly tired or worn out, or any of those things that would kind of lead you to believe that it's getting to be too much for him.
He's obviously a tremendous talent and everybody knows the difficulties he's had. Anybody that's going to look at him has to determine how much they'd be willing to take and determine from T.O. where he's at in terms of his attitude toward things. There are a lot of things if a team is going to approach T.O. that they've got to weigh.
I'm going in with my eyes wide open. I know there have been some issues. But at the same time, going forward from here, I don't see how it helps us to dwell on some of the stuff that's gone on in the past.
I'm disappointed to see Larry go. Playing with Larry was a unique experience because he was by far the strongest guy I ever played with.
I'm moved on from that other stuff. I'm just happy to be here and I'm excited about what we can do.
I know that his defenses in practice were always very difficult to deal with, ... Facing him Monday night I know that he'll have some blitzes for us and he'll try to make things as hard on me as he can.
This is a hugely important game for us. But we've got to keep winning.
I don't like to talk to a bunch of people. I'll put it that way. But people call and, you know, try to give you moral support.
He actually will ask me my opinion on some things and actually take my opinion into account.
But, ultimately, when it comes right down to it, I knew what was going on. ... Any speculation that my skills had dropped off is just not correct.
