[Witnesses told police Smith did not appear to be speeding, Baker said. He said charges will not be filed against the driver.] There's nothing to charge him with, ... He wasn't being reckless. He was just distracted. |
Getting butterflies I don't think is a nervousness that's unnatural, ... If you don't get butterflies in a game, I don't think you're excited, you're not ready to go. |
He was hurting, but he was able to communicate, |
He's a big, punishing back who can get you those yards inside the red zone, and especially inside the 10. |
I got hit on my left leg, and my hips got opened up a little bit, so the ball sailed. I was aiming to throw outside to Mike because the defender was inside.

Some of them were communication problems. We had a lot of holdings. I haven't seen exactly what they all were, but there were too many to win a football game. |
