After the season last year, with seven sacks, I just wanted to get off to a good start. It just so happened we lost the game, so that good start really doesn't mean anything. |
He has great vision; he has great cutback ability, ... If there's any crease in our defense he's going to hit that hole. So we've got to stay fundamentally sound and stay in our gaps. |
I don't know how it happened, but the only thing I know is I came off the field, and it was hurting real bad. |
I had been keeping track of him since he played at Tennessee. I would keep in touch with him and speak to him from time to time. I saw a show (on television) about him last night and he was talking about religion and football. To see that, and then to come in today and find out that he passed away, for me, it hurts me deep inside. |
I had thoughts of last week, |
I know who I am and can deal with the use of Indian mascots, ... But I know it can be demeaning to a group of people. Maybe it would be all right if they were truly honoring the people and are giving due respect to the people they are representing. |
I saw some (sun-tan) lotion and everything. They were throwing everything. |
It basically was a teaching session this year. It wasn't a thing where they came out and beat us up every day. We basically learned the position, and learned what we needed to do on every given play. |
It can't do nothing but get better now. We've played the worst that we can play. |
It is pretty bizarre, but this team has to get back on the right track. It's tough not having him around but we know in our hearts we've got to go out and try to win the game. |
It's been a rough season. My mother's sister died a month after (Jermaine) did, and then my brother got sent to Iraq that same week. |
It's hard to understand how the wind could be at the back of a relay team, but that's what they decided, |
So if we don't fix it, it could be a long night, |
St. Louis is more humid. But after a while, the heat started taking a toll on us, so we started rotating a little more up front trying to stay fresh out here. |
They came in bunches today. Usually, we don't get any calls. The inside guys had some good rushes, and it really helped us out. The big guys inside came through for us. |
