If we continue to play like this, it will open things up in the passing game. And if we can maintain this balance, it will make us a hard team to handle.
Finally you saw the guy that I expected him to be all the time. He battled through this injury, and it's been hard on him. I know that this year hasn't gone the way that he wanted anybody to envision for him. But when everything was on the line, he stepped up.
Obviously, this is the biggest game there is and everybody wants to play in this game, ... That would be a hard situation.
I said, 'Yes, sir,' 'No, sir' and did what I was supposed to do. He's a funny guy, but he's only funny if he's not talking to you because he's pretty hard on guys. When I was young, I got tired of all the noise from Bill. As you get older, you realize some of the things he taught me when I was young that have gone on to help me in my career.
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.
His defense, just facing them in practice, was always very tough to deal with. I know he'll have some blitzes for us and will try to make things as hard on me as he can.

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.
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.
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,
