And one thing I really like about him is how much of a competitor he is. The guy comes out here and every day you can just tell he's trying to get better. He's so motivated. |
But he has that same leadership quality. Brett has it, of course, and so does Drew. |
Everything that happens on the field is crucial. You cannot take anything for granted. It's emotional. You have a veteran saying something to a young kicker, he has to understand every point counts. Everyone is held accountable. |
Having back-to-back West Coast games is tough on your team, but I don't think we're the only ones to have it, so why complain? If you're a West Coast team and you have back-to-back East Coast games, that's tough, too. You just have to deal with it. |
He might be a little bigger now than he was. But he can still play. He's active and he's usually around the football. I'm expecting him to be there all day. |
I go every day trying to convince everybody that I'm going to play on Sunday. That's the attitude I've got this week, until I hear otherwise. |
I knew there was no shot for me to go out there and be functional. |
I'm stiff right now. The doctor said I'm going to feel the effects for a couple of days. ... It's just more of a muscle ache and having a really, really sore neck. |
I've been known to do those kind of things before. I've played with bad knees and broken hands, and stuff like that. I'm just going to take the same attitude. |
If it's anything like that Packers-Bears rivalry or that Packers-Minnesota rivalry, it's a big-time rivalry. I've seen Dallas and the Washington Redskins play before. I've heard all the stories. |
It was kind of a strange feeling, it went down my arm, and had the feeling of pins and needles in my hands. But I never lost any kind of sensation anywhere. |
My back, I'm not even thinking about it. That first practice, I thought about it a little bit. That was the first time I put pads on since the surgery and did some hitting. But, I'm fine. I'm on the field practicing with the guys. There's nothing like it. I'm moving around good, just knocking the rust off. |
So I know something about tight ends, and Jason's legit, believe me, |
The younger players got to understand that everything that happens on that field is crucial. That one point can be the difference between a win and a loss. Your young kicker has to understand that every point counts. (Cortez) needed a little wake-up call. |
There is some hatred between the Cowboy and Redskin fans and it's going to be an exciting game. It's early in the season and we've got them Monday night here at our place so we want to shine. |
