In the celebration in the end zone I said, 'Superman, you can do it all. He can do a lot of things. Obviously, he had a big game today. |
It doesn't matter who is coming in. We just need a win. He's a good player and he's having a good year. They're a tough team. We have our work cut out for us. |
It helps a great deal. Obviously, he's a big part of our offense and our team and it's another weapon. Not only is he very productive, but he also creates for others. |
It seems like at Purdue and then the Chargers and then to here -- it's kind of a situation where maybe they had a couple of rough seasons. The community was just craving that winner. And maybe there was a change, like a new coach, a new attitude and you're just able to step in and become a winner. That's what we did at Purdue and at San Diego, and now we plan on doing that here. |
It was 50-50. Give it to the best running back in the league or throw it to the best tight end in the league. |
It was a roller-coaster ride, ... to come on the road and play as inconsistently as we did, but then just to find a way at the end. It wasn't pretty, but we've found ourselves on the other side of these quite a few times in the past. |
It was disappointing to have that happen, because I think that was maybe the writing on the wall that says this is my last year in San Diego, ... This is the last year on my contract, and they're going to pay this guy $15 million or whatever it is that the fourth pick in the draft gets, so I know what that means. |
It was tough to know that was the end of our chances to make it into the playoffs. To come home and get to spend time with family, I think that got everyone's mind off it a short period of time and allowed everyone to take a deep breath and see what can we accomplish this last game. |
It's 50-50 there, |
It's a business. You realize that very early on. Hey, they made a business decision. I'm not complaining [about his salary this season], trust me. Of course, for me, the big thing is the commitment: 'Hey, you're our guy. We want you long term.' And no, I haven't gotten that. |
It's a Charger-Raider game. It's been like that for a long time as far as intensity. Both sides really get up for it. |
It's about time something good like this happened, |
It's always kind of a sigh of relief after the preseason is over and you look at your squad and we're relatively healthy right now. That's what you always strive for. |
It's going well. It's a slow process, and there's just a healing element to the whole thing. |
It's great for the fans. And if it's half as crazy as it was [Sept. 25 against the Giant's Eli Manning], then we'll definitely have an advantage with that 12th man. |
