because it kind of sets up what you want to do on second down.
I always used to say this when we won, it's not easy going to the playoffs, ... I think now these guys are realizing that they've been on a little bit of a carpet ride. You kind of take that for granted.
in the twilight of his career. He knows that every year he comes back, he's getting closer to not playing anymore. He's had a great career in the National Football League. He's been on one team, caught over 500 passes. He's been a staple here. I think he knows there are only so many years left in him. He's going to play until he can't play anymore.
If you make, let's say five yards, defensive coordinators don't want to see a second-and-5. Because now you're sitting there wondering, are they going to run it? Pass it? So the first down kind of sets up what you're going to do,
If you watch his career, he has been a guy that has played in a lot of big games. He kicked a lot of tough kicks in pressure situations. He's an outdoor guy. The weather doesn't bother him. If he continues to do what he did in college, you're talking about a guy that can be here for 10 years-plus.
Hopefully, he can recover from it and he'll get back, ... You try to sit and try to figure out why it happened. You can't. Just part of the game, I guess.
He's very aware of certain situations that he doesn't want to put himself in. ... He's a different guy.
I owe him that. I owe him that, his career and what he did for us this year. I think it is fitting for him to play a little bit and I am going to try and get that done for him.
He's right where he's supposed to be. Everybody made a big deal of how he played last week. It wasn't his arm. It was his decision-making.
I don't know if we have to see a whole lot. We knew what we were getting when we got him. We brought him in for a reason and he got hurt. He's been gone quite some time, so it's good to get him back. He's excited about coming back.
He's an excellent player and helps us get better.
Generally, when you throw for a lot in this league you're behind on the scoreboard. They blitzed us a lot today, so we had some opportunities in the passing game.
We knew it wasn't going to be pretty at times,
We put the ball on the ground 22 times already, ... It's not running backs or receivers. It's some quarterback exchanges and just getting hit, and so we have to do a lot better job.
