respond
It's adversity, but I think we'll be able to respond well,
admiring chicago feeling great grew mentioned name obviously played playing running
It's a great feeling to have your name mentioned with him, especially. I grew up admiring him my whole life, so as a running back, even to be playing here in Chicago where he played and to see his name all over, obviously to have your name mentioned with him is something special.
feeling great mentioned name question series sure
It's a great feeling just to have your name mentioned with him. I just wanted to go in for a series to make sure that I had it, so there would be no question about it.
behavior change consumer greater increase seen tax
We've seen a greater change in consumer behavior with this tax increase than we expected.
best gets guy maintain messed obvious poise politics
The politics are what is kind of messed up about this league. A guy gets money, and it's obvious he's going to play. That is the way it is in this league. You just have to do the best you can to maintain your poise and composure.
along ball drafted guy knock last led needs running rushing season stopped team year
Last year I led the team in rushing and receiving. Definitely, it wasn't a knock to me that they drafted a running back. I didn't take it personally. I'm the kind of guy who needs the ball 22 times a game. Last year I was getting it 20 to 25 carries. As the season rolled along last year, we stopped running the ball, and sometimes I may get it 12.
forward great rest season takes
He has what it takes to be a great quarterback in this league. I look forward to the rest of the season with him.
good
He made some good plays, some good throws.
anyone depends game older statistics super won
Statistics are one thing, but at the same time, when the game is on and it's kickoff time, you never know how anyone is gong to react. You have older quarterbacks. Peyton Manning hasn't won a Super Bowl; he's an experienced quarterback. It doesn't really matter, it just depends on how you play that day.
balls corner corners couple deep finally gives helped line past room throw
It helped a lot just to be able to finally throw deep balls and a couple corner routes, a couple comebacks, just to back the safeties and corners up. That gives me a lot more room just to do what I need to do once I get past the line of scrimmage.
game happy personal win
I play this game to win championships, not for personal statistics. I'm just happy we won.
grow guys quick teams win
In the NFL, you have to grow up quick. The teams that win are the teams that have those guys grow up quick. If you don't grow up quick and make mistakes, you're not going to win.
applying bad mortgage
And it comes at that bad time, when you're applying for a mortgage for a home.
thinking people worry
You're whatever you think you are. People like to compartmentalize other people. I don't worry about what other people think. I'm not living for them.
