Without Troy Brown, I don't know what our record would be this year, but we would certainly not be standing where we are right now. I would say he's by far the most valuable player on our team, and has been all year.
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.
You keep hearing everybody wants a more mobile quarterback, ... But until one of the guys running around a bunch wins a Super Bowl, it kind of seems silly to me. Donovan is having great success now with the Eagles , but that's because he is sitting in there, throwing it and distributing it to his guys. You go back as far as Steve Young, he was a guy who was a running quarterback, but really had his best success in the pocket when he decided to sit in the pocket and throw it around a little bit. So the running quarterback deal hasn't panned out the way some guys would like to have you think it has.
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 should've thrown it high enough and far enough wide that either Terry was going to get it or no one was going to get it. I didn't put enough on it, and that was the game.
When you get a little older, you understand that there's something there.
When you have that rivalry and you have that history that goes with it certainly is good for the game and for the sport. I think it adds a little level of excitement for the players and the fans.
When you look at facing retirement in your mid-30s, and all of a sudden the outlet for that passion and work ethic goes away, you can't just sit back in a rocking chair and be retired at 35. I'm not a good enough golfer to play golf every day.
We're phenomenally blessed in the Walla Walla Valley. We have great, complex soil that's nutrient-rich but fairly porous.
I had a great career and I enjoyed all of it, with the exception of losing.
The positives of retiring outweighed the positives of returning and my desire to still play.
I feel so fortunate, so honored, to have played this game that I love for so long, with so many great players, and in front of so many wonderful fans. I fulfilled a childhood dream the first time I stepped on an NFL field, and the league did not let me down one time.
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.
You know, it's a different deal - throwing a football as opposed to throwing a baseball.
