He was a big part of that defense that year. I think he led the team in tackles. And for just a freshman playing free safety, that's pretty impressive. He came up with some big plays.
He is very powerful, ... You can't really tackle him with one guy. You see him break tackles all the time, like he did on the last touchdown. Obviously his ability to catch the football is special.
We're trying to be that franchise that year-in and year-out is competing for a championship.
That says it all. When you say, 'Victory,' that says it all.
We have a beautiful little boy who is 18 months old and another little boy to be born in October. We are very excited about that.
I don't believe that you can be too short as a quarterback. It's not about height.
He is aggressive and he has a nose for the end zone, ... Giving the ball to him is our best bet.
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.'

We've already got things lined up, and we'll be rocking and rolling the minute the clock strikes midnight.
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.
Usually before practice, it's Doug and I going, 'Who gets the first-team reps today?'
