It was all good if you were in the game to just pick up a paycheck,
I've been 'Favre'd' twice up here, ... So, I was a wreck on the sidelines. It was big to erase some of those demons.
Braylon wants to get better, and he wants to get a sense of timing and rhythm with me. After the one I just missed him down the middle, I went to the sideline and told him we're not there yet but we're going to get there this game.
The team the last couple years as taken a pounding emotionally,
You add him, and it's 70 catches, boom,
But that's not me. I feel most alive when I'm being challenged, when there is pressure involved. I felt like I was dying as a football player. And I always felt that I've never met my potential as a football player in this league. I was hoping to get one more chance. I didn't think I would.
I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy,
Since I've got here, Darrell has been the guy in my mind that scares people the most with his ability to get off press, his ability to stretch zones and his ability to run after catches.
My focus was not letting that happen. I never hung my head. I knew I wasnt playing good, but I also knew I had a bunch of football left.
One game he almost broke my leg sacking me and he came into the locker room after the game making sure I was all right.
I hate speculating about that because I've had things that have hurt so bad before I didn't think I'd be able to walk and I was fine the next day. I've had stuff that hasn't hurt that bad and it holds you out.
I felt like I prepared great for the game. Unfortunately, I just didn't play as well as I wanted to.
What was so attractive about this trade was that, unlike other teams who we talked to (Miami and San Francisco), the Browns didn't call and say, 'Hey, we'd love for you to come in and start for a year, and then train whoever we draft,'
This week we're playing against a great front seven, ... a team that knows how to pressure the quarterback and overload the run game and make you run uphill.
