I'm almost embarrassed. I took two years of French in high school, and I hadn't the slightest clue what he was saying.
I have a joke for you, Gilbert. There?s three kinds of people in the world: There?s those who know how to count and there?s those who don?t.
I feel like I played a game yesterday, ... Thats what it feels like.
We fizzled when we got in the red zone. That hasn't been characteristic of our team. That's not us.
We weren't worried at all. All year we have had guys step up when players go down.
You have to know where he is on every play. Every play.
Whatever we may have lost in talent, we gained in accountability and professionalism and leadership.
Throwing mechanics, shoulder posture, my drop ? little things like that. Right now in camp it still feels like I'm confined and working on stuff. My feeling is, hey, these guys know what they're talking about. I'm buying in 100 percent to what they're saying. Don't ask questions. Come September, your mechanics will be better, you'll be a more accurate passer, and because of that your team will be better.
We knew that he would fit nicely in our offense,

We thought that maybe we would struggle a little bit more than we did, ... But those guys played great.
You have heard the same talks and speeches that he's given for the past five year, but now, since we're moving deeper into the playoffs, his wisdom and his experience are really coming out. It's really fresh for us because we've never been in that situation. There's a lot of wisdom and experience there.
too much of the weight of the world on his shoulders.
We didn't execute to the best of our abilities, and therefore, they're the Super Bowl champions and we're not.
