Mike said we will always be the other team. Even though they are a sixth seed, they're the pick over us. We win 11 in a row, and they say it's our fault the other teams weren't as good. We can't worry about it. We just got to go out and play.
Mike said from the very beginning, that we are always going to be the 'other' team.
Mike likes all things to be done on the field.
Mike is just so key for us as a team, as a group of young men trying to grow up.
My first day here, just like my first day at Alabama, I went and got the record books and looked it all up. It was like, 'OK, how hard is it going to be for me to get this thing?' I started setting goals to get them fast.
Mack was a 6-foot-4 wide receiver until we moved him to fullback. After five years, he was down to 6 feet. I think he's like 5-foot-8 by now.
Mack Strong is the difference between us and the Philadelphia Eagles. We can get behind him and run all day.
What people don't realize is that he's the best fullback in football. And to me he has been for the last three years. And he's never complained about what he has to do.
We gave away a lot of opportunities to be a world champion.
We love the fact we have one of the best records (15-3) in the NFL and people still think it is luck.
When we played the Redskins the first time, that's the thing that Mike finally let Matt take control of, change things for the better for our team. And our whole practice and schemes and what we called just changed after that day. ... It has made us a better football team just letting Matt have enough control.
Tons. I took a lot of it. Medicine's good for people, but I'm one of the people it's not really good for.
To me, I'm not one of those guys that do things just for the fun of it. If we're going to date ? there's a potential for marriage. And that's how I am.
This team has accomplished some goals. Now my family is getting together on what we should do -- and then go on.
