beard blue difference gets green scrutiny shoe start talking wore
When they start talking about somebody's beard, that's when it gets a little ridiculous. Come on. This is football. If I wore a green shoe and a blue shoe it doesn't make a difference in a game. The beard doesn't make a difference. But that's the scrutiny we live under, that I live under.
fun injuries
I had rib injuries and they're not fun or pleasant.
ability advantage against athletic bailey ball biggest break champ cover giving great mistake past pay played plays pure reasons skills teammate
Well, he's my teammate now, but I've played against him enough times in the past to know that Champ Bailey is the best. The biggest reasons are his cover skills and his ability to make you pay for any mistake you make. When you don't think he's in position, and you try to take advantage of that, he has such great ability to break to the ball and make up that ground. He'll make you pay, and that's just great cover skills and pure athletic ability. He also doesn't take plays off, so he's always giving you his best.
game past played practice run saw tried trying
We saw in the preseason all the defenses they're trying to put in, but when they get into games, I think they'll find they can't run all that stuff, ... It's just like our offense. We didn't show everything. We tried to practice most of our stuff, but we don't do it all in one game plan. There's only 60 to 70 plays. So we don't know what to expect. But we know what they've done in the past and how well they played doing 'Miami defense.'
dashed knew
We knew the whole off-season what we were working for, it wasn't just dashed in the first game.
again couple defense last stop team unfair
We keep pinning it on our defense to stop a team there in the last minutes. They've come through for us a couple of times but doing it again to them is unfair for us, offensively.
bad fly happening stuff tag
You aren't going to have someone fly in and tag the holder, ... You do that kind of stuff and there's going to be some bad stuff happening around the field.
december focus games good home late miami until win
We want to win our division. It's been awhile, and we want to play at home in the playoffs. You can't do that until late in December when those crunch-time games come. So for right now, we've got to focus on Miami and get off to a good start.
hard offense ready standing
We'd been standing there a long time. It would have been hard to get back out there as an offense and get back ready for overtime.
couple major rest
It's nothing major and with a couple of day's rest it should be OK.
chance excited gets nice player sure
It's nice that he's back. If he gets a chance to go out there, he'll make sure that he will play hard. That's the kind of player he is. He will be excited to be back here.
challenge past stepped
It's going to be a big challenge for us. But I think we've stepped up already in the past and we know if we want to get a win, we are going to have to step up this time.
great receive season soon stuff treatment
It's been a great season so far. It's not the end of the season, ... With the treatment that I'll receive and the stuff we're going to do, I'm going to get back as soon as I can.
almost couch felt fine pop
It was on Monday. I was fine all day, ... I got up off the couch and felt a pop in my foot. It actually just felt almost like a strain; I thought, 'Well, it's just a strain,' because I still had some bruising in there and it was still tender.
