I didn't really understand those things until I was older. But just to come from something like that, with a person like that, willing to sacrifice everything for the people she loved. That's why I am the way I am. |
I don't see why not? ... He's a quarterback. I'm pretty sure that if it calls for him to be in that situation, he'll handle it very well. |
I don't think he should have gone that far. I figured I'd get fined, but I didn't think I'd miss the whole first quarter. |
I don't think people really believe that we can get the job done. There's still a lot of people thinking that we can't make the playoffs. We're a 3-1 football team and they still think we're the worst team in this division. That kind of motivates us a little bit to go out and show everybody what we're really capable of doing. |

I saw one thing, ... I guess he saw another. |
I think it will be a challenge for us because people are going to start gunning for us now. We've just got to be ready each week to make everybody believe in us. |
I think the people of New York are happy. We came out here and handled our business and now we can go home and give those guys one playoff game. They're going to be rowdy. |
I told the guys, this is the small hat. I want the championship hat. |
I took it as a challenge. In my position, I took it on myself that if he didn't get his hands on the ball, I had a shot at it to bring it in. |
I want to go out and show my ability and what I can do. |
I was just trying to get a hand on it. I tried to tip it back to myself, but I couldn't. The ball was more on the inside of [Thornton], and I was more on the outside. I just stuck my hand over his arm and tried to get a hand on it. |
