That first touchdown run he had, where he runs outside, there's two guys there, and he just stops, and both those guys just keep going and he cuts it right up in there untouched in the end zone. For any other player, they're getting tackled by two guys at the 2-yard line, and nobody touches him and he walks into the end zone. He's a spectacular player.
It's a Charger-Raider game. It's been like that for a long time as far as intensity. Both sides really get up for it.
It's about time something good like this happened,
We've been in this offense now for four years,
We didn't throw the ball to him at all. That's partially my fault. We didn't get around to calling plays for him because we had too much other stuff going on.
When we had gone 0-2 and a lot of people doubted our confidence, and to come out and have win like this where everybody performed so well is just what we needed.
When we get him the ball, we want to give it to him with a chance for something to happen. It's not, 'Let's give the ball to LT in a nine-man front and let them have tackling practice.' That's not the point. When we encounter every game situation, we're looking at how we can put LT in a situation to succeed, whether it's throwing it to him or handing it off.
We found something that was working, ... and we stuck with it.
Usually before practice, it's Doug and I going, 'Who gets the first-team reps today?'
with the mentality of going out and scoring 40 points.
We're starting to get in that rhythm we need to be in,
We've used the word Superman without the cape. We've used a lot of terms to describe LT. I just think he never ceases to amaze.
We've already got things lined up, and we'll be rocking and rolling the minute the clock strikes midnight.
The only team that believed in me was the Saints, and I feel like I owe them a great debt of gratitude. I want to give them what they saw in me-a guy who could lead this team to a championship.
