He's definitely progressed as a player, just understanding the game more, from what I see. |

He's playing great. What people don't know is he did some great things at Cleveland, too. But they didn't win, so he didn't get any media. That's what happens in this league. When you're not winning, people get down on you. That's a credit to Mike that he was able to bring all those guys in here. |
I could deal with that. I could learn how to play around that as far as using my shoulders to make tackles and not using my head all the time, but with the shoulders, that's what we get paid for -- to use that. That's probably the hardest time for me, because I was so limited with the brace and neck rolls, shoulder shocks and all type of different (stuff). |
I couldn't care less who we play, seriously. It's a new season, a new day, our record is 0-0 and it's a three-round fight for us right now. ... It doesn't matter who we play, we're going to get after them. |
I got the chance to watch the whole thing, to take another view. All week we heard we have nothing to play for. We showed today we play football for each other. We take pride in our work. |
I heard about him having a wreck when I first came in, but didn't know the details or anything like that until Mike addressed the team and told us what was going on. |
I just got my stitches out. I just kind of moved it around a little bit, but I'm going to put it back in a cast before I leave. |
I think maybe some of the younger guys learned that once all the hype goes away, it becomes a football game. It took about a quarter. For a quarter, things were pretty tight all around and then it becomes a game. |
I think that was the difference in the football game. We couldn't get off the field. We couldn't convert. We just didn't make the plays that we needed to at the times in which we needed to. |
I'm just happy for this team for persevering through some tough situations and when people didn't believe we were that good after we lost to Miami. We found a way to win. |
I've always told people that he has the best hands on the team, including all the wide receivers and the running backs. I think that second touchdown showed it. Jake threw him a bullet and he just caught it with ease. It's good to have a guy like that who has such versatility. |
I've been slugging for 23 years. |
It all depends on what Mike (Shanahan) wants to do. If he tells us we have to play, we'll play. |
It feels good. Anytime you get it, I think it says a lot about the character of the defense. |
