career chance knew mentality opportunity picked sack score thankful
I was just thankful for the opportunity that the sack by Greg created. I knew once I picked up the ball, I was going to score and that's the mentality you need to have. I am just thankful for the chance to score my first career touchdown.
attraction bit gets high kid network picked sure team wireless
Qwest without a wireless network is a little bit like the kid who never gets picked for a team in high school. I'm not sure what the attraction is at this point.
came defense guys line picked played solid
We played solid defense and we picked up our offense, especially at the line with a 12 of 17 effort. Our guys came back well, but we need to keep working and improving.

We had our chance to get back in the game in the third quarter when Dirk went down but Jet (Terry) and Marquis picked up their games and we didn't.
boxes cardboard children closet clothes excited filled fit folks looking lost next picked talk three
Some children say, 'Yeah, I used to have a closet in my room, and now I don't have a closet or a window,' ... You see and talk to folks who have lost everything to be excited about looking for clothes -- 'How do you think this will fit my 2-year-old?' There were cardboard boxes filled with clothes, so they just picked three things to find things that will get them through the next day.

We're just happy, ... We wanted to win this game so bad. I've got to take my hat off to my teammates. They played big. They really picked me up tonight.
aggressive boards created kids picked tempo valley worked
Nothing was going in the first half. Valley was aggressive and out-executed us the first half. The kids got back into it and worked the boards and created turnovers. As the tempo picked up, so did our defense.

Beating the Eagles is still beating the Eagles.

We don't give up. No matter what, we keep fighting. That's the character of this team. And I think we can grow.

behind fall guys hit mean rally seems spot tough trying
Guys are always trying to rally each other when we fall behind or hit a tough spot in a game. It just seems to mean more when Vince does it because he always delivers.
enjoy feeling great hear name running
I didn't get my name called though. It will be a great feeling to hear my name announced, but I enjoy just running out when my name is not called.
cause focused helping locker tension totally
I don't get too focused on what (the coaches) are thinking, because if I do that, I can't focus on what I'm doing. If you do, when you're out on the field, you think about it. When you're in the locker room, it can cause tension and cause you not to be totally focused on helping the team. I try not to get sidetracked.
