[And lurking at a concession stand nearby is the debate of whether there are enough footballs to keep all of the receivers happy.] That's on the quarterback, ... Ask Joey. Joey's got to spread (it) around.... All I can do is get open. |
Everybody's talking about there's going to be a problem with egos, but I brought Mike in with open arms and showed him as much love as any receiver here. Deep down inside, Roy knows what's up, and Mike knows what's up. I want to catch 10 balls a game, but if I do I do, if I don't I don't. I ain't gonna trip. Competition brings the best out of you. Some people get the best brought out of them on Sundays. It's every day out here. |
He probably can feel our pain more than anybody as far as the receivers. |
He's the coach, so you have to agree with it, ... How can you go against the coach? That's what he said, and that's what we've got to go out and do -- run better routes. |
I didn't mean to stab him (Maes). He fell into it. |
I have scars all over my body, ... It took me 90 days to regain normal bodily movement. |
I just have to keep working hard to prove them wrong. |
I was a little shocked. |
I was just determined, I don't know when the next time is I'll get in. As far as me starting, it won't happen. |
I will make no excuses for what I did, and I accept full responsibility for my actions. I let down a lot of people, mainly myself. |
I'm 99.7 percent healthy. As you can see from my [29-yard touchdown catch against the Browns], I was a little rusty in the end zone. I forgot how to react and I gave the ball to a kid wearing Roy's [No. 11] jersey. I told Roy he has to give it to a kid wearing my No. 80 when he scores. |
If it was on my mind, I wouldn't be able to perform, |
If this is my last days in Detroit or not, I don't know. That's really out of my hands, out of my control. |
It's a plus having him, |
It's like I, Robot , when Will Smith had that iron on one side of his body. I know I'm protected, ... I'm not going out there timid. God forbid it to happen again, but if it does it'll be when I'm running 110 miles an hour. |
