I saw No. 27 on him. I hadn't seen it all day because there's not many times you get one-on-one. |
I still remember how, before that game, you could see the haze in the sky from the smoke. It was weird ... I remember getting under center and we sent 'Moose' (Muhammad) in motion that first play of the game, and the field was bouncing. I guess it was the trays (that hold the turf) or something. That's when you knew it was just a game. And it just seemed like it was over in a blink of an eye. |
I think this team was confident going into week one. We're a team that is confident, but not a cocky football team. We work hard and we believe that we'll go out and play well on Sundays. It's starting to carry over now, so hopefully we'll keep it up. |
I think we had a good, productive camp. You think about it, wow, it went by fast. But it was tough, and I mean tough going against the defense every day. |
I thought because we had never run it out of that formation at all -- I just thought it was the perfect call. |
I thought that could have been a jump-start for us to get something going, but we just didn't. We didn't do anything else after that. |
I tried to get the ball out of my hands quick today. |
I was encouraged, very encouraged -- we'll leave it at that. |
I was just praying for our defense to get a stop, ... He was awesome tonight. I'm just honored to be on the same field with him. |

I'm a fan of it. I enjoy watching, and you don't get an opportunity that often. Usually you're playing on Sunday. |
I'm a little more reserved than (Smith) off the field. On the field, I get pretty animated. But he's a -- I don't want to say brash -- but a confident person, and he'll tell you if he doesn't like (something). And he means it. |
I'm all for it. Whoever we can get in there. But if it's still Stephen Davis or Steve Smith, that's fine with us, as long as we have one more point than the other team. |
I'm in a position to be able to give back. ... You can put a smile on kids' faces just by being here. |
I'm not going to lie, there's pain there. But there's going to be pain there for the rest of the season. That's just the way it is. It's gotten better. I anticipate it getting better the rest of the season. |
