[Coach Groh] doesn't really talk about injuries, but I expect to see Wali out there on Saturday. |
All my life, I've always played up. I came in here as the youngest person on the team but, what's funny is, now I'm leaving as the oldest person on the team. |
As soon as he got back and that incident occurred and he spoke right up about it, that is kind of when I realized that I had missed him and the team had missed him as well. |
At first it was erratic every time he snapped the ball but now he is doing a good job of putting it right where it needs to be. Bart, man, he is getting a whole lot better. |
Football is great. Not only does it bring families together. It brings different ethnic backgrounds together. It's funny how we don't see black and white on our team. We just see teammates. |
He has proven that he can make big plays. He gives us a great option out there. It is so good to have him back. |
He really stayed after hours and asked me to come out and throw with him and he really took the initiative. And it's paying off. |
I couldn't believe I dropped that punt and then came back to throw an interception. I thought, 'It can't get any worse than this.' I just kept fighting and my teammates rallied behind me. |
I couldn't go back to the sideline with a safety on the board facing coach Groh. So there was no way ... I would've thrown it in the stands before they took me down. |
I don't know how that happened. I've been meaning to talk to my mom about that. |
I have to give credit to my strength and conditioning coach and to my quarterback coach for me being in good enough shape to run like that at the end of games. Coach Mike always makes me run after practice even though sometimes I get mad. But I appreciate it because it has paid dividends down the stretch. |
I just want to play. |
I just wanted another chance to redeem myself. It was just a matter of us going out there on that last drive and executing. We always work on two-minute drives and four-minute drives, so it wasn't anything new to us. |
I think it has been going good. There has been a lot of energy. I think the atmosphere has been good. We are looking forward to going out and giving a good showing on Friday. |
I think my God-given abilities just took over. I felt hands grabbing at me. I don't remember where I went or how I got out. I just knew that I got out and started looked for receivers. |
