I think at halftime we realized we were probably putting a little bit too much on Eli and we went back to running the ball and doing basic things.
Marshall was a pioneering player. As a threat in so many different aspects of football, he revolutionized the way in which the running back position was played. He was the player that I wanted to emulate.
If you run the ball, you control the clock. If you control the clock, you usually control the game.
I'm sure that is what he's been aiming to do. Kerry is the kind of guy who just wants to win all the time. That's why I loved him.
I'm very disappointed. We were flat and didn't match their intensity, and it showed on the scoreboard.
I know the team relies on me a lot, to be durable, to be accountable, to make big plays. I don't envision myself letting them down.
It's so nice to have so many weapons. There is no pressure and that's how it should be. If one part of the offense is faltering, someone is there to pick it up.
It was his first game as a full-time starter for us. We have a lot of talent around him, a lot of veteran players. He doesn't need to be Joe Montana right now. He has time to develop into that. As long as we play well around him, I think he'll continue to develop and be the great quarterback we expect him to be.
It's really not about me, it's about the team. Last year, we didn't have a lot of good things happen to us. That's not the formula every year. If I get 200 touches this season and we win, that's fine with me.
At the end of the game, when we needed to score some points, we turned it on. Unfortunately that's been an M. O. for us this season. We're only scoring when we have to score. When we have to, we do it. But it should never come to that. We should be able to play with the sense of urgency and consistency that allows these games not to come down to the last two minutes of every one.
That's encouraging, ... but no solace. The bottom line is we lost this game and we should have won.
They are very good and I think they have an emotional edge in their own minds about what the season is going to bring for them and mean for them. We have to find a way to combat that.

Eli was a bit more consistent out there; he made some great decisions and was a good leader in the huddle.
