I don't buy that at all. |
I don't know where that comes from. You tell me. The guy carries the ball 25 times a game and averages 100 yards a game. I don't think that's soft. Maybe because he does it with a smile. |
I don't remember any of them. |
I don't think it's that big a deal. |
I had two ankle surgeries. That's not so good if you're a runner. |
I realize it's part of the deal. We're still earning our respect. That's fine. It doesn't come easily. |
I think a lot of things that plagued us in the past, where we definitely had some off-the-field issues ... I think the fact that we eliminated a lot of that stuff, and we don't worry about who gets the credit, that's made all the difference in the world. |
I think everybody in this town will be fired up. People will be going crazy, it will be pandemonium. |
I think not having to worry about contract talks and all that stuff has helped him because he can really focus all of his efforts on coaching. Obviously, you see the benefit it's had for our team. |
I think where the maturity comes from is just guys being able to do it day in and day out for years. I think we're starting to see some benefits of just staying together. |
I was convinced that we would come out here and it would be a real celebration, that it would be a culmination of our season. But I'm looking forward to being out here and really enjoying this time, soaking this all in just as I did the Super Bowl last week, and just get ready to move forward. |
I'm just trying to soak up every moment that I can and just really savor it. Just writing in a little journal that I have -- for myself, for the future and for my kids. Just so that I will remember this incredible experience. |
I'm sure Shaun was probably all over that. |
I'm sure that will have to be one of many factors he'll have to consider once this season is over with. For me, there's no other line I'd want to play behind. That's a no-brainer. But that's easy for me to say after 13 years in the league. I'm not looking for the big payday like he is. He's in a little bit different boat. |
I've seen a lot of years that were very challenging. A lot of turning points, a lot of lessons learned over those years. But I can tell you with all honesty, with all my heart, it's been worth every second. The feeling I have right now, getting ready to go to Detroit to play for a world championship ... it's just tremendous. |
