It's going to be a great challenge to run the ball against (the Chargers), but we're not going to back down from that. We're still going to run the ball. We feel like we can be a very good rushing football team, and we're not going to let anyone chase us away from that.
It shows what we can be when we get out of our own way. The last couple weeks, we made some mistakes that put us in some close games and when that happens, you're going to lose some of them.
It was a team victory and it took everything we had. Hopefully this is a step for us in the right direction.
It's a great challenge for us, and if we make some of the mistakes that we made the last couple of weeks, then we're going to have a lot of trouble. We're going to have to execute very well against that defence.
It's a play we worked on this week, ... The discussion was that he had to go a little deeper than the play was designed so we could get the first down. After that, it was an athletic play on his part to get in the end zone.
I've been very impressed with Marion. He went through setbacks both physically and kind of mentally and emotionally. All of the things that go on being a rookie, particularly being a rookie playing for Bill. It's not an easy task.
I understand what we're doing. We're playing the odds a little bit. Our defense is playing well and we're trying to be as smart as we can. ... We'll continue to do that, but there will be times when we come out and attack a little more. When Bill says, 'Put the metal down,' I'll be ready to go.
I've never had a big receiver like that,
I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
They're deep questions. The kids raise a lot of questions that you wouldn't expect a child to pick up on.
That's pretty cool. It's another one of those things I'll be able to tell the grandkids about.
That's pretty cool. He's the guy that I really admired. That's something I can tell my grandchildren about some day. It's cool to be able to do it here on his field.
That's something you're not supposed to be able to do, ... and he finds a way to do it and make it be sound.
That's the challenge right now is to bounce back from a really tough game where we had some breaks that went the other way and then just kind of got beat up.
