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.
To fall behind like we did and be able to respond and make the plays that we had to,
He's a big target down there in the red zone. Plus, he's very physical. He's been there before. He knows what to do.
He's got his little stories and sayings, ... and if we go on to win a bunch of games and bring a championship back to the Cowboys organization, he's going to be worshipped as he's been in other places.
He's a very smart receiver in the slot, ... He does a great job with his moves at the top of his routes and gets himself separation. He has a lot of experience in this offense, so he really understands where we need him to be.
I expect to play that way, ... I expect to be smart with what I'm doing. As I said in the preseason, one of the goals coming in for me personally was to avoid the negative plays.
I expect to play that way and I expect to win, ... If that is the highlight of our season, we will all be disappointed.
He goes, you're starting to act like me. I told him, I'm going to retire if I ever start to act like him.
We've got to go back to work on Monday and try to prepare better. The only other option is to quit - and there's no quit in this team.
We thought we had a chance to throw it on them if we picked up the blitz.
I also thought it was good for our offense to bounce back from a really horrible start. I think we showed that there is no panic in this team... can respond to adversity which is going to serve us well in the future.
if we hadn't run those two quarterback sneaks, I wouldn't have been hit all day.
I got one of those rings, ... But I wasn't on the field when we won it. I want to win a championship with the Cowboys. I am motivated by trying to do everything I can to tip my cap and ride off into the sunset with my Super Bowl ring.
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.
