We'll talk about it, ... I love my mom and we love each other and we'll talk about it briefly and put it behind us again. |
We're sitting here having this discussion about me, ... I feel worse for the guys who are taking the heat like Chad. He's taking the heat for something he can't control. He's a guy I see who has more passion and love for the game than just about anybody we have. And yet he still takes a lot of heat. It bothers me. |
Well, all I can say about that situation is, things come to the surface, |
When you bring a guy in like Santana, you have to make sure he's taken care of and he's going to get the number of catches and balls that a guy that they brought in deserves, ... For him it was good and for me to come back to the situation I'm in, I'm not a featured guy, but I'm a piece of the puzzle in this offence and there's opportunity for me to make plays and help this team win. |
When you come in the stadium now, that's all you see is the No. 80 jersey there. It's difficult knowing he's not ever going to come out of the tunnel with me again. |
When you're a quarterback, I think that's the most important thing for you to get the opportunity to get out and not only show the world, but show yourself and prove to yourself that you still have everything. |
Wins and all that don't give you peace of mind. |
[Maybe what Rison needed was a coach like Washington Redskins head coach Joe Gibbs. He's been working his new team into the ground. During two-a-day sessions, the players usually practiced at 9 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., so their typical day began at 6 a.m. and usually ended with meetings that started at 10:15 p.m.] We haven't taken the pads off yet, ... We started camp on July 25 and we haven't missed a day. I'll watch guys on television and they're practicing in helmets and shorts. We'll be in pads even on the day before the game [a practice usually reserved for a light walk-through session]. This makes the season real long. |
