There are still a lot of things I need to work on. I'm not there yet, I'm far from there. I just feel blessed because I have been put in this situation with coach LeBeau.
It doesn't matter because they came here and beat us. I think it evens the tables.
It doesn't matter what I think. I know I caught it, fell, rolled over and obviously knocked it out with my knee.
It doesn't matter how I feel. It's not my job to make those calls. I really felt I had the ball, but I'm grateful for how the game turned out.
I think he may have been (confused) a little, ... He could never get comfortable in there because we gave him so many looks.
I thought it was a challenge, and I appreciated it. I enjoy studying how to play our defense.
Well, we know what to expect, but it is a very different situation than earlier in the season. We both have playoff experience and they are very tough at home. It will be very tough for us.
I see everything in his game. He's still one of the players who provides you with the mold about how to play the game.
Yeah. It's all about what we do, ... I really believe it's all about what we do, and we've got to force them into situations they don't like to be into.
You've got to be sound in your approach to playing him. If you're not disciplined, and if you don't take the right angle, he'll burn you.
The ebb and flows were unbelievable. We just had to stick with it. We knew we could make big plays. We've done it all year.
The combination that he carries - with the size, speed and agility - is matched by nobody else.
I try to take what's given to me and then mold it to be a better football player.
There are very few sports where you can find that tranquility. Some people find that in golf, but when you're in the water it's such a difference from the golf course or the basketball court. That's what makes surfing unique over any other sport.
