[Horn] and I exchanged words right from the first series. He was mad at me for calling him an idiot, but he disrespected our whole team and I told him that. I didn't take it back or anything. I'm still standing by it. |
[Jones is] the best tackle in the game, hands down. A lot of offensive tackles are good at one thing, like pass protection. But what makes him better than anyone else is you've got to bring your 'A' game against his run-blocking, too. He has no weaknesses. You've got to bring it every snap against him. |
Coach (Jim) Mora told us he didn't know we are. He was right. It was not a representative effort of what we pride ourselves in as a team. |
He certainly was making some incredible passes today. When you hit a guy square on his shirt and he's still hitting the receiver, it's frustrating. |
He's the best tackle in the game, hands down. The thing that makes him better than anyone else is that he isn't just a great pass blocker. You've got to bring your A-game against his run blocking, too. He's everything you look for in a tackle. |
His name was getting announced all the time over the loudspeaker. He was going sideline to sideline making plays, making vicious hits. Every time I watched the Ravens after that, I couldn't help but watch him. |
I have a girlfriend now, and she's down with the program, ... But before we hooked up, if I had a date with someone, I'd eat dinner beforehand, then order something light on the date, like a salmon fillet, so she wouldn't think I was a total pig. |
I've played a lot of right end in my career and you have to be ready when a guy goes down. There are no excuses. You have to be able to make adjustments as a player and as a team. |
It just makes [a defense] lose confidence. It's like somebody pokes a hole in your heart and the blood just keeps running out. It's awful. |
It ought to make camp a little easier, at least from a logistics standpoint. We just have to make sure we don't let our concentration stray and think about that pool too much. |
It's a matter of getting to play even more aggressively than I have in the past, which is fun, |
It's always been an honor to play with that guy. |
It's sort of shocking, really. Going 9-7 and not making the playoffs doesn't really interest me, but we still want to win next week. We can still have a say in what happens in the NFL. |
Mike wants to be that much more lethal by making himself a great throwing quarterback, |
Rod's as deserving as any player in the league. He's the one player who came in here and elevated our defense across the board. |
