He's got his little stories and sayings, ... and if we go on to win a bunch of games and bring a championship back to the Cowboys organization, he's going to be worshipped as he's been in other places.
He's a very smart receiver in the slot, ... He does a great job with his moves at the top of his routes and gets himself separation. He has a lot of experience in this offense, so he really understands where we need him to be.
I also thought it was good for our offense to bounce back from a really horrible start. I think we showed that there is no panic in this team... can respond to adversity which is going to serve us well in the future.
The only things I know firsthand come from a couple of friends who played with him, and they really liked him as a teammate. I put more weight on that than the rest of the stuff that has been so well-documented.
He was certainly back there quick enough that he almost took the ball out of my hands on the handoff.
He will make things as hard on me as he can, ... He takes pride in trying to put pressure on the quarterback and trying to devise schemes to confuse your protection and try to get in the backfield. If we can handle it, we are going to have opportunities to make plays.
Had we lost today, it could have been really heartbreaking, ... It could have worn us down as a team.
He goes, you're starting to act like me. I told him, I'm going to retire if I ever start to act like him.
We're going to show up and play the game anyway.
We couldn't get out of our way the first quarter. It was very frustrating, but it was good to see the way our offense responded.
When I was 21, I just listened to him and didn't say much. Now he asks my opinion.
We put our defense in some horrible spots. They had to keep us in the ball game until we could kind of get it together.
Unfortunately, we're in a situation where, in order to get into the playoffs, we need to win this week, and then we need some help. It's interesting playing the late game. We'll know before kickoff whether a win helps us or not.
To go and talk to somebody that has a negative relationship with the guy, I just don't see the benefit for me personally or our team in doing that.
