deserves deserving impressive mind sure
He sure deserves it. He's had a very impressive year. In my mind, no one has been more deserving of MVP.
couple despite game happened help ourselves whatever won
Despite whatever happened in the game, we still didn't do some things we could have done to help ourselves out. We still could have won that game if we would have just made a couple of plays.
bit consider easy factors line looking season sure
I'm sure that will have to be one of many factors he'll have to consider once this season is over with. For me, there's no other line I'd want to play behind. That's a no-brainer. But that's easy for me to say after 13 years in the league. I'm not looking for the big payday like he is. He's in a little bit different boat.
sure
I'm sure Shaun was probably all over that.
gets league red teams
Shaun had a big game. When he gets into the red zone, he's deadly. But I don't think a lot of teams around the league know about Maurice Morris, and he's an exceptional back himself.
ability few gotten history knack players rare zone
His ability to get into the end zone is what impresses me most. He has a rare knack for that. Few players in history have gotten into the end zone as much as he does.
future incredible journal moment remember savor soak trying
I'm just trying to soak up every moment that I can and just really savor it. Just writing in a little journal that I have -- for myself, for the future and for my kids. Just so that I will remember this incredible experience.
benefit contract efforts focus helped stuff talks worry
I think not having to worry about contract talks and all that stuff has helped him because he can really focus all of his efforts on coaching. Obviously, you see the benefit it's had for our team.
earning realize
I realize it's part of the deal. We're still earning our respect. That's fine. It doesn't come easily.
basically came career history marked offense remember season struggling
We came from basically the bottom. I remember when I first got here in '93, we were 6-10 and had just come off a 2-14 season and . . . had the third-worst offense in the history of the NFL. We were a struggling bunch. I didn't know if my whole career would be marked by disappointment.
expect
That's what you expect Shaun to do. That's why he's the MVP.
athletic freak guy looks man matter playing pro size superior walt
No matter who Walt is playing, it really looks like he is a man playing with little kids. It doesn't matter if a guy is a Pro Bowler. Walt just has superior strength, size and athletic ability. He is a freak of nature.
forward fun good guys holes open
It's fun. I know those guys are good at what they do, so I look forward to Sunday. Hopefully, I'll be able to open up some holes for them.
complete couple everybody field football guy played shows team today
It shows that we're a complete team. This team is not just about one guy or a couple of guys. It's about everybody on this football team. Everybody that went out there on that field today that played is important.
