At that point in the game I felt like we were absolutely manhandling them. When we turned the ball over I wasn't happy about that.

People try to pigeonhole Bill and make it out like he just wants to run the ball and play defense. I've been with him before, and we threw it more than anyone in the history of the league. He's not afraid to take a chance on a trick play here and there. He felt that would give us a chance, and it obviously did. Those plays turned into points for us.
When I made the decision to come down to Dallas, the major reason was that I felt like it was an opportunity to be successful right away,

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.

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 haven't changed one bit, ... What I've got is ... guys that are giving me time to throw the ball.
I've got to throw that ball higher and out of bounds. It was just a major-league mistake on my part. I just didn't get it up high enough. It's unfortunate. I've got to make a better play.
I've got guys that are getting open for me and making plays. When that happens, my job becomes pretty easy.
It was over about 30 seconds after it started.
