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.
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.
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 is the best feeling in the world to have a close game come down to just a couple of plays and you are able to do it.
It's a really interesting and diverse business. You're a farmer first, then a winemaker, then you're onto marketing and distribution. So it's multi-faceted and really engaging. I've learned more in the last couple years than in the ten prior to that, so it's been pretty interesting.
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.
We're going to show up and play the game anyway.
The only time you see a game like that is in college.
Really what they played was a similar style of defense to what they played last year when they went on the run. They gave up some yards here and there, but they tightened up when we got into scoring territory.
I will tell you this that everybody that plays against Lawyer is aware of where he is and aware of his ability to make big plays. As far as his speed, his aggressiveness, his physical style, I haven't seen a falloff at all.
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.
We never thought we'd see this happen to our team. I didn't think that this team was capable of losing a game like that.
That was the plan. The way our defense was playing, we wanted to keep the pressure on them.
