It's going to be a fun time in the playoffs.
It's great to know I'm going to be in the second round of the playoffs. This is a new door for us, but it's something we've been preparing for a long time, so we're really excited.
It's just a fact of life that once you get one, there is a chance you will get another.
It's a rival. It will be a little more exciting for me, probably, than some of the other guys -- besides the fact that it is the Super Bowl.
It was exciting because we were down coming out of halftime and then we had a good drive to go score a touchdown. That's about it.
It was actually weird. I think we flow better when we're balanced.
It would always be great to have a big game in the postseason, but I don't care as long as our team wins. If I had to have nine yards again for another victory, so be it. I'll take those nine yards and I'll see you all in Detroit.
They weren't trying to make bad calls, but they did. At the same time, we had chances. I don't blame anybody. If you get to blaming, you'll find ways to lose.
They've seen that tape, too. They're going to do some things better this time around than they did last time.
That first season is over with. Now we get to start and we get to try to win two games at home to get to go to Detroit and play the best game of our life and that's really all we're focused on now.
That is what the playoffs are really about. Your defenses really show up. That's why defenses win championships.
I told Clinton I want him to rush for 2,000 yards. And I want our team to go to the Super Bowl and win it. I've been there and not won it. It's really simple for me. You get stats, fame and fortune, but if you don't end up with the ring you're never satisfied.
I told him you never know, I might be out there with you. Whenever you lose a teammate it's rough. When you lose a friend it's worse.
It's a really cool thing when you can see the changing of the guard.
