My belief and desire to play has changed dramatically since I got here. Football is fun again. |
This game's extremely important for the Texans organization. I want to do everything I can to help the team win. |
This is a great game, but it's an extremely tough business. |
To see people carrying all their worldly possessions in a black trash bag is tough to see. This weekend is going to be one of acknowledgement to the hurricane victims. When you see what these people are going through, it's hard to complain about your life. This is a tough situation for so many people. |
We have to quit finding ways to lose. I've never been part of a team that finds so many different ways to lose. It's like we get up on an opponent, and then the wheels come off. |
We knew he was going to come. He's an outstanding football player. He may not be 100 percent sound with his blitz, but he's a relentless football player. |
Well ... it just didn't work out that way. |
When you have two players of that caliber, those two players alone can be such a factor in a football game, ... They can totally disrupt an entire offense. |
You have to embrace and welcome the role that you're given. A lot of people on the outside always said to me, 'You need to have statistics to say you're a great player.' I didn't buy into that. The only statistics I looked at were wins and losses. Whether I was catching two passes in a game or clearing the way for Jerome, I just wanted to win. There was a year when I had 18 receptions and six went for touchdowns (in '97). I made plays when I had to. I just don't think you can make a fair judgment on a tight end based solely on numbers. I'm sure Heath feels the same way about this, because from what I've heard, he's an unselfish kid who wants to be a winner. |
