If someone knows me and they have a friend that's there, I've gotten a phone call.
We'd have a list of charities, and say, 'These are the ones that effective. Which ones do you want to do?' This lets guys vote on where they want to put money, and we can put money in different areas, ... Guys want to see where the money's going to be used, not just that you're giving it to somebody and one half's going to overhead and one's half going someplace else. They want to know that it's being used and used right.
We really had to wear down a great front four. Their guys are beasts, but ... that drive was a monster.
Overall, we were balanced offensively. We made some plays in the passing game to continue drives, and I think that was important. But overall we had a lot of things we need to work on and improve on.
I think team-wise it helps me and the way they're trying to utilize me with touches and everything else, it helps me for the long haul, ... Our system works because every guy knows his role and does his job. It's not just me.
We just have to be, not just a little bit, but a lot better in the passing game than we've done in the past. It's going to get to the point where we're going to have to be a lot better.
Some of that was Mike, but it was also guys making catches. You've got to catch the ball to make the quarterback look good.
I can definitely give more than $5,000. I am, ... But this is not just about me. It's about getting everyone involved.
The uncle, the one that nobody one knew where he was at, is in Baton Rouge, ... We're still looking for some cousins. My grandfather he came up. It's just a blessing, but I have so many family members that have just lost everything. Their homes and everything. I have a bunch of friends that are just traumatized. There's still a lot of people they haven't heard from. Their family members, parents, kids separated from their moms.
This is a huge, huge game. Is it the Super Bowl? Not yet, but it's a playoff game.
You could tell right then and there, we were going to come out and play, and that no matter what happened both teams were going to leave it on the field.
You've got 11 guys coming at you with their heads peeled back, wanting to knock you out. You have to be crazy.
The line has to make their calls, like who they've got if a safety comes up.
