It's scary. I've never seen anyone who's so quick, and fast, and powerful, and is such a smart football player. In my opinion, and I know he's gotten a lot of accolades, but he's probably the best all-around football player in the league.
I didn't know where I was. If I would have realized where I was when I caught it, I would have just fallen. That was the smart thing to do.
I didn't know where I was. If I knew where I was, I would have fallen down. That would have been the smart thing to do.
I think he's definitely been under more pressure before. He's smart enough to realize in the long run it's still just a game anyway. It's a playoff game and maybe the tempo picks up a little bit more, and of course everything is at stake, but at the same time it's still football.
You want to make something happen on defense, and for a guy who is managing a game or just kind of sits backs there and tries to pick you apart, it is a little frustrating. Defensively you want that one opportunity to make something happen. When you have a guy who plays smart like that, it makes it a little bit more difficult.
I'm sure he's not happy with the way he left the Giants. I'm sure I wouldn't be if that were the same situation in my case. But at the same time, it's not Kerry Collins against the Giants. It's Raiders against Giants. One guy can have a vengeance, but you have to go out and play the game as an entire team.

I know we'd both rather be here to play the game. But at least we're here doing something.
Everybody's professional. Nobody's an idiot. Nobody's a jerk. We all know each other. So it's not like we see each other in the city and we run over and bust the window out of their car with a baseball bat or nothing. We're all friends.
That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there and I'm not trying to be his either. We're not playing just to go out there and put on a show and let these guys win the game.
It was great to be back out there playing with some live action and getting to hit another team.
I'm glad he's a Manning. Maybe it's in the blood.
I'm enjoying this more than I ever have, ... I think when you're not playing, you realize that you're not going to play forever. But when you do get the chance to play again, you appreciate it that much more.
I'm fine. If I don't play on Sunday, then be concerned.
