They feel so sorry for me because I am so old that I think they are playing a little better than they normally would.
The one hit, I thought I was done. There was a sharp pain, I didn't think I would be able to get up. But that's happened before and you get up and move it around a little bit and you realize it's not a catastrophic injury at the time. When I realized it wasn't, I wasn't going to come out.
I think the history's been a lot of a burden for the organization. But I think the players just started to feel it recently. A lot of times that would be a bad thing, but I think they used it to their advantage.
kind words after football games when they beat us up. That meant the world to me.
Hes been very supportive to me privately and encouraging on the football field, ... Thats all I can take. I do believe he believes in me.
(He) doesn't really need a mentor anymore. Maybe the first couple years, I walked him through some things. But I look at him as a peer now.
Whatever RAC (Crennel's initials) wants, that's what I'll do.
Look at our Detroit game this year. We ran the ball great, and it didn't mean a thing.
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.
Anytime there's no sacks they did their job. I'm very comfortable with those guys. They're a great group. We're going to be able to do a lot of good things because of them.
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.
