Both his guys made it to the Pro Bowl. I don't know what else you can ask of a coach.
Mark my words, it's going to come back on him. You start thinking about a guy like Pat Tillman, who turned down millions to go fight for his country, then you think about Eli crying about where he wants to play football.
Those guys (on the line), every year it seems like they just dominate.
Should I be considered? I don't know. A lot of guys should be considered; that is just the way it is. I think a lot of people, off me throwing three touchdowns and doing all the things receiving, people are considering me for doing all those different things.
It's just like when you're gaining a lot of yards - it just happens. A guy like Chuck Muncie, everybody knows what kind of player he was. It's great to be in the same category.
When I approach guys in certain situations and talk to them about Christ, they know that I'm speaking to them in a way that's real.
When he first got here, he said he had some nastiness to him, and that was one thing he was going to bring. He's definitely brought it. ... I mean, the guy has brought a different mindset to the defense.
I knew that they were going to be up for us trying to run the ball. At that point they were pinning their ears back. That's why you saw the big play happen, too. When they got all them guys up, somebody didn't get over in that gap where they were supposed to get, and Michael got right down the sideline.
We just got outplayed. They made great adjustments and we didn't do very well adjusting ourselves.

We saw that they were stacking the box to stop the fullback, ... We saw that no one was going out on me when we run the sweep. We decided to pitch it out there and it was wide open.
I've said it before, but I guess nobody really took notice before. It's just a goal that I have.
It would be great. It's something you always dream about. You dream that it would be something you would accomplish when you grow up.
The ribs are no big deal. I hurt it on my right side, hurt it when I fell on somebody. The rib pad was bothering me more than the rib itself.
