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.
Obviously, this is the biggest game there is and everybody wants to play in this game, ... That would be a hard situation.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
