ball lost
I couldn't really find the ball. I lost the ball in the lights.
bit extra football found guys job playing since tonight
We had a job to do. Hey, it's a football game. We've been playing this since we were 8. It's really simple. Tonight guys found that extra bit of energy.
ability bring last numbers opportunity traded
You really don't know what to expect, but you see the numbers, you see the rankings, and that's all you have to go by, ... Obviously, the numbers were down last year. When I got traded here, I just thought it was an opportunity to bring some leadership, to bring some playmaking ability to the defense.
best city grow hoping imagine knowing people perspective seeing
It was tough. You've got to put things in perspective. When it comes to things like that, football's secondary. To see all those people and what they were going through, I couldn't even imagine being in those peoples' shoes. It was real tough, seeing the city you grow up in, your whole life, not knowing if you'll ever be able to go back there. I'm just hoping the best for everybody.
business happy left move played seven time understand year
It was a business decision, you know, ... I still had one year left on my deal. When you get so many years in the league, you understand it's a business. They made a business decision. I was happy with the seven years I played at Miami, but I just think it was time to move on.
against attention ball competition garner gets goes great guy guys humble job looking played respect score top trying twice year
Probably Marvin Harrison. I played against him twice a year when (the Colts) were in our division, and the guy doesn't say a word. He just goes out there and gets the job done each and every year. He's not looking for the attention some of the other receivers are looking for. That's how you garner respect around the league: by being a humble person and not trying to humiliate guys. There's competition out there, and guys are working their tails off. So when you score a touchdown give the ball back to the ref. On top of that he's a great player.
But don't forget, ... they have a lot of weapons.
ability bring good last numbers opportunity playing traded
Obviously, the numbers were down last year. When I got traded here, I just thought it was an opportunity to bring some leadership, to bring some playmaking ability to the defense. We're playing pretty good right now, but we have a long way to go.
form great hold offense peak points proud satisfied second shape
It's just the second game. We don't feel like we're at our peak yet. But to hold a great offense to 17 points is something you can be proud of. But in no way, shape or form are we satisfied with how we played. We know we can play better.
against explosive guys head intensity lay running terrific
It's a big challenge. Those guys are one of the most explosive offenses in the league. To have so many weapons, you just can't lay your head on one guy. They have a terrific running game. They have terrific receivers. But if we come out and play with the same intensity we had against the Jets, then we should be fine.
across almost character country early flight game playing shows team
This is unprecedented a team getting up as early as we did, making a flight almost all the way across the country and then playing a game that night. It shows you how much character we have.

Donovan McNabb is a tough, tough guy. A hurt Donovan is still better than 80 percent of the quarterbacks in this league.

We stopped the run and made them a one-dimensional team.
