I'm sure Bill said, 'If we stop the run, we have a great chance to win the game because they don't have their All-Pro tight end,'
I went to the Senior Bowl and told myself I'm going to answer the question about this competition thing once and for all,
Just being me, yeah, I want to be utilized a little bit more than what I am.
I say if we don't win this season, they should be upset. But give us a chance to prove that we are winners.
We were 1-2 and we needed this victory badly. So for us it was the Super Bowl Champions, but at the same time it was just the next game on our schedule.
Those guys (on the line), every year it seems like they just dominate.
That was great, absolutely. It's going to happen, for both of us, and I look forward to the day.
That was probably the best defense I've faced as far as the run game in my career.
I don't want to say it's not important,
I don't want to make it sound like I'm complaining I'm not getting the ball. I had the ball 19 times in both of the last two games. Anytime I touch the ball that much, I've got to make something happen. I haven't done that.
Their offense is really in gear where they can score points. And it's hard to run the ball against the defense. They've got a great secondary with the young corners and an All-Pro in Champ (Bailey). I just think they have all the tools to make it.
I can't answer that question. It's not for me to answer. I don't call the plays.
I've been dealing with being overlooked my whole life.
I keep my eyes wide open. Because trouble is out there.
