I think it was good enough to help us win. We need to keep it in that frame of mind. I was able to get the ball a little more. The biggest thing for the running game is rhythm. When you convert third downs, you can sustain rhythm.
We talked before the game and I wished him good luck, ... It was good to see him out there.
I didn't think it would be very special. Coming back to a franchise, an organization that I worked for three years, it felt good to be back here. It was good to see a lot of old friends.
The biggest plus for me is I'm coming into a situation where they already have a good team. They're just adding a good player. I'm going to be surrounded with talent. I'm not going to feel like it's my job to win games. I just have to do my part.
This whole thing is a little confusing. I'll just leave it at that. The best way to say it is he violated the program.
This whole thing gets crazier by the day.
Why do you think I'll play football again?
To get more out of yourself, you have to expect more out of yourself. Before your body can achieve it, your mind has to perceive it.
Victories have been hard to come by this year. I think when we can, late in the game, stick together and pull one out it's going to help our confidence.
You have to realize I've been away from the game for a long time,
To watch this team grow and be part of it has been special. We've made strides, and we can be confident that we can go into next season strong.
Every step you make there's just more and more distractions. There's just more things that can go wrong and do go wrong. It's just mental toughness.
As the game goes on, I usually get stronger and more comfortable and have a better feel for what to do. Life is about opportunities. Unfortunately Ronnie was down, so this week I made the most of the opportunity.
You can look inside and there are certain forces that push you. I'm kind of hoping they push me to play football again.
