That's as ugly as you get. Have you seen much uglier than that?
heck name remember roy throw
I'm going to throw a name at you and see if you remember him, ... Roy Green. He was a heck of a receiver. Remember him?
decision game given guess learned love past
I'm going to take away a lot from the game that I love so much, that has given me so much. I guess I have learned in the past not to make a decision now - especially going out like this. It's tough.
atlanta thinking trying
I'm not even thinking about that right now. I'm thinking about Atlanta and trying to get into the playoffs.
character far football good great heart honored proud talented teams
I just told them how honored and proud I am to be a part of this football team. I've been on some great football teams and this may not be the most talented team, but as far as character and heart and never-die mentality, this is as good as it gets.
ask
I'm pleased. For what they ask me to do and when I get my opportunities, I make plays.
basis consistent good played playing win
As players, we're just not playing consistently enough. We've played great. We've played good enough to win at times, but on a consistent basis we have to play better.
earlier
Earlier in my career, I would have scored.
anybody came certain clark creating funny gary guys heard job left mention routes roy running taught took wing worried year
It's funny now because when I mention his name, these guys around here just look at me because they've never heard of him, ... ... He took me under his wing and taught me a lot. There were some guys that were worried about job security. Roy wasn't like that at all. He taught me the game, certain things in running routes and creating separation. I only had him for a year and, then, he left and Gary Clark came in. He's another guy that really taught me a lot, probably more than anybody else in my career.
athletic guys lose lucky pick speed start stuff using
... I use that stuff now even more than ever. A lot of times when you first come in, you're getting by on your speed or your athletic ability. When you start to lose that, that's when you start going to that kind of stuff. At that time, those guys were using that stuff and I was lucky to pick it up at a young age.
coming exciting great hard hard-work last paying season work works
It's exciting to see Drew. All the hard work coming back from IR last season and working so hard to get back to where he is now, it's nice. It's great to see all the hard work paying off for him. He's a great kid. He's going to get better, and he works hard at it.
age eight handle hard lose nine pounds practice tough
I told them it's tough for me, being 37 years old, to handle two-a-days, especially in this heat. At my age it's just hard to lose eight or nine pounds in the first practice and then come back out in the afternoon.
carry far fighting football gives great mean proud rest talented team wins
I told them I'm proud to be a part of this team. I've been on some great football teams. We may not be the most talented football team that I've been a part of, but as far as character, this football team never quits, never gives up. To me, those are the things that mean more than just wins and losses. Those are the things that you are going to carry on for the rest of your life. If you keep fighting and never quit, you can come back. It's all in how you respond. This football team has always responded, and that's what they did today.
took tribute
They took away a lot of things. They took us completely out of our game, and that's a tribute to them.
