Take the ball and go score a TD.
It's been tough the last couple of weeks, it really has.
I told Dinger, 'Let him throw,' ... I wanted to see him throw.
It was important that Mike got a chance to kick some field goals, I was praying he'd make that first one (from 48) because you guys would've been all over him.
