I could jump, I was quick, I could catch and all those types of things, but when it came to just flat out speed, that's something I had to work really hard at.
I'm not one who's big on accolades and all those things. I did my job and I'm proud of what I did and how I did it.
As far as natural ability, I was always athletic.
When it comes down to it, I always played hard for my teammates and I played hard for my coaches no matter who it was, ownership.
We got on a losing streak and dropped four in a row. Now we need to start us a winning streak.
He's a very hard hitter, but that's what you've got to do. You've got to make them think about it when they're coming across the middle. He's very, very aggressive. But I didn't take offense to that. I love contact. I don't mind him hitting me in practice. That's great. I just got poked in the eye and it hurt. I just threw the ball at him, and everybody made a big deal about it.
He's been a good friend and a good teammate for a long time. I wish him the best of luck.
I actually feel like a rock star. I feel like I'm important here.
He kept telling us all game, 'Give me a little time. We'll get there.' He did that. That's Willie. He's the engine that won't stop.
He does the same thing every week. Wasn't nothing he was doing different. We had our hands on the ball. We dropped it, too. It's all our faults.
Having Corey, it's huge. You can sit there and pound him in there in weather like this. He didn't have very many yards in the first half, but you can come out there in the second half and wear them down, the way we did. When you can keep running Corey at them, it's a great plus.
I looked back at Tom and he saw the same thing I did.
It was great to see him. I just wished him the best of luck.
I don't really know what my next move is. I may stay here permanently.
