It means a lot to me, but I'm just more happy for the fans. I feel like over the last several years we let the fans down. We haven't given them something to cheer about. |
It's a worldwide, televised event. The phone rings more after you play on 'Monday Night Football.' People call up and let you know how you looked on TV. If you had a good game, they say, 'You were awesome!' And if you have a bad game, they say: 'Al, you messed up. What were you thinking? |
It's definitely in the back of your mind, but we know we still have a job to go out and do. |
It's just one of those things. The coaches definitely didn't expect three corners and Mike Anderson to go down. But it happens, man. And you have to find a way to overcome it. |
It's tough. It's a crazy business. It was unfortunate for us, but we still have to find a way to make plays, find a way to get it done. We just didn't do that. |
Let's be honest now, he's a special kind of athlete. He's fast. He's strong. He's intelligent and hungry. And you don't find that all the time in different players. And especially finding all those attributes in one player. |
Man, I think we just got to the point where if we were going to lose, we were going to lose fighting. If you don't like the way it's going, you have to do something about it. We did something about it, we got after them in the second half. |
Mondays are definitely not my favorite day. Growing up as a kid, Monday always meant going back to school. I was never a big fan of Monday. Don't know many people who are. |
Mr. Versatility. He probably has the best hands as far as catching the football on this team and then just being a veteran guy that guys can look up to and see produce week in and week out. |
not a great worker or anything like that. They didn't feel like they were losing anything by getting rid of him. |
Now we can just play. We can play how we did as the game wore on the rest of the way. |
People thought we were fast before. But now, with getting Ian back, yeah, it's like we've gone to the afterburners. |
Ron and I have known each other since college. I knew he was a (heck) of a player. You don't win the Heisman just because they want to give it to you. You win the Heisman because of what you do. |
That was big, really big. That's what you got to do, man. Big-time players step up and make big-time plays. It was a momentum shifter . . . once that happened, that train was rolling. |
That was Brady being Brady; he has a lot of fun out there. But I think with so much talk about the game, it just took a while for everything to click. We were prepared, we were focused; it just takes some time once in a while to get the game rolling. You have to relax and just play ball, man. |
