This is all new to us. Mike tells us all just to enjoy the ride.
The holes open, the holes close and we take advantage when we can get them. I think the running game was OK.
You continue to give us the ball on the ground, and Mack's going to pretty much wear them down. After a while, we're going to break some runs. That's just how our offense is. But it just didn't turn out that way.
I don't live my life trying to prove anything. I set high goals for myself. I set high goals for my team, and as a group, we just try to achieve them. Contracts are contracts. They're just part of the business that's after football, but it has nothing to do with what we do on the field.
I made a couple of phone calls and spread the word -- the first 15 family members that call me for tickets get to go. The tickets weren't around too long.
I'm just getting better every week, and I'm really excited about where I am right now. I do the same thing I do every year. I haven't changed one bit. I can't even give a good, juicy story. It's been the same.

It was tough, ... but he's going to be good. He's strong. I was more emotional than he was. He's good. We're going to be OK.
We don't just want to win the Super Bowl, we want to make a dynasty. I want to be a player who makes that a reality.
To be in that situation is just amazing.
