I'm happy for him. It's a feather in their cap when things like that happen. Unselfish play by everybody and Shaun having a great year, it's a winning combination for our offense.

If there's a chance to get him the ball, I'm going to get it to him. He's earned it, and I want to give him every opportunity.
They have to do what they have to do. We are going to go out and try to play as hard as we can.
It was great. It worked out exactly like the coaches hoped.
It was a dream come true. It's probably one of my favorite memories of all time.
Once I had this horrible start my first year as starter, and he sat down during the game and told me about this horrible game he had in 1997 against the New York Jets, but still went to the Pro Bowl. He didn't have to be the guy that he was.
Instead of people saying, 'Hey, I feel bad for you,' it felt more like people were applauding ... No, it didn't feel that way, it WAS that way. It was tough. It was very, very tough.

He sets the standard really high, especially at the quarterback position and he isn't going to settle for anything less. Bottom line is he just wants you to do things his way and if you do that, things will work out and he will be happy and you won't have that friction as long as things are going well. It isn't all the on the quarterback but you just have to make it right.
He's the best player on our team, for sure. He might be the best player in the game.
He's just a veteran, he's a pro, he gets it. You're out there and it's loud, and he's recognizing the defense along with you.
I don't know if we have talked to those guys as much as we see how they conduct themselves. Joe has just been going about his business like he has all year. ... You just continue to be professional.
