They feel so sorry for me because I am so old that I think they are playing a little better than they normally would.
It's a great test. They have a very active defense, a defense that brings pressure, which quarterbacks love. Hopefully, it will open up a chance to make big plays.
They're good. They rush everybody, they hit you,
They took some things away from us defensively and put us in some holes, and we had to try to catch up throwing the ball.
We're not afraid to say what we think we're going to do. I'm not a big believer in talking before the game, but this team has the ability to back up pretty much anything it says.
Ultimately, this is the type of situation where I can play my best football and inspire the people around me. Don't tell me that what the San Diego Chargers did last year -- or what the Rams did in 1999 -- two teams won't do next year. And we could definitely be one of those teams.
In my opinion, (Richardson) was the MVP, ... It was brutal down (on the field with the winds gusting). It was very hard to control the ball and punters and quarterbacks have a similar rotation on the ball. I thought Kyle did a great job being mentally tough.
I hope not. We don't have much of a chance this Sunday if I am.
I held out for 12 days. It was a wonderful decision financially and a horrible decision football-wise. Being completely honest with that, if I had to go back to do it all over again, I'd have sacrificed the $2 million I made to be a better football player my first couple years.
I put the burden on me. I don't care how low it is, it's my job to get it. I saw the ball. I tried to go down and get it. It hit off my foot. I tried to grab it and Ray took it from me.
His greatest impact would be just his presence, ... I believe now that Ricky Watters is gone, I'm the only guy on this roster who's won a Super Bowl. But Shannon would change that. He's won three. He knows what it takes and his daily regimen shows the commitment level that's necessary. Guys would come to view him as the most credible player to show us all how to do this thing.
But I never hung my head. I knew I wasn't playing good, but I knew there was a lot of football left.
If you want me to say that Trent has lit it up, he hasn't lit it up,'' Crennel said.
He's far superior to me when it comes to leadership, ... I can't have the kind of impact that he does on a team. And he doesn't lead with just his words. He leads with his actions far more. He plays hard and he practices hard. It's infectious.
