That's sweet. I'm hyped. I guess (coach Jones) felt it was my turn. He knows I want the opportunity. He knows I want to be on the field the whole game. It's his decision, so I didn't say anything, but he knows I really want to do it. |
The defense came out strong in the first half to make a statement that New York was in for a fight. |
They just know how to win, it's obvious. It comes down to the fourth quarter a lot in this league, and they know how to win in the fourth quarter. It's a bad feeling to be so close. Because you'd rather get blown out then have a chance to win the game and not quite get there. |
They put their pants on the way we do, although they've got longer pants. The fact that they have on yellow and bronze or whatever color, and their logo is the 'Trojans' ... they're human, just like us. This is football. Anything can happen. |
This is my worst nightmare. I don't understand it. I'm in a daze. |
We found out we're not quitters. We've shown we are a team that's going to keep fighting and keep plugging to the end. |

You can see what he is on film . . . it ain't gonna lie to you. He's just a lot quicker and faster on film. But he's got great vision and patience. For a little man, you'd expect him, with that speed, to bounce outside. He can do that, but he stays in there and bounces it around inside because he can take those hits. |
