I felt like I prepared great for the game. Unfortunately, I just didn't play as well as I wanted to.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 love him, ... He's a great player. He immediately makes you a better football team. There's not many players, outside of quarterbacks, who when they walk into the locker room, you're a better team. It's simple. When he's there, you're better. And when he leaves, you're worse off.
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,
