It's fair to judge people on how many turnovers they have, but there's so many other things, too. No. 1 is make sure the other guy doesn't catch the ball. |
It's the character we have around here and the way guys fight until the end of the game, for a full 60 minutes. And if we're out there longer than that, we keep fighting. Whenever you have that, you give yourself a chance to win. |
Kerry's the real deal. He can make all the throws. He has an unbelievable arm. Anybody that doesn't think that, just pay attention to him. |
Kerry's the real deal. I have the utmost respect for Kerry. He can make all the throws, and he has an unbelievable arm, and anyone who doesn't think that, just pay attention to him. |
Moss is Moss, and everyone in the league knows what he's capable of because he's done it for so long. No matter if he's injured or not, you've got to make sure you go out there and stay on top of yours, because he's capable of exploding at any time. He's a game-changer. |
Moss is still Moss. Everybody knows what he is capable of because he?s done it for so long. He can still be a game-changer, so you have to give him the utmost respect. |
Nah, I don't even remember what happened in that game, dude. |
Obviously they're going to get the ball to him. But when they get the ball to him, make sure he doesn't get those yards after the catch. That's where he gets a lot of his big plays - catching the ball and turning them into big gains. |
Obviously with the yards and stuff he's done this year, not too many teams have been successful against him. I think you have to mix it up on him and make sure you have people near him all the time. |
Obviously you want to start, but if I don't start I still have to prepare like I'm a starter because you never know what's going to happen, ... That's something I learned in college. During my junior year I was playing behind Mike Doss now with Indianapolis and Donnie Nickey now with Tennessee so I just had to stay focused and ready. |
Of course it's going to be surprising to me; I'm a starter and I feel I should be a starter. |
Since the Rose Bowl, all of us have been training real hard for this day. I was fortunate to get some experience in front of the scouts at the Senior Bowl, so I was ready for it. Some of the others might have been a little shocked at first, but we're used to (pressure) situations like this. |
That game against the Bears (Nov. 20) they had like 190 yards of passing, and Smith had 160 of them. |
That's gone. That's gone already. |
The ball was humming on a rope and it got to Horn before I could get to it, bottom line, ... I didn't make a play I felt I should have made. It could be that's what influenced the decision [to bench him]. Maybe that's the case. I don't know. I thought I'd played well to that point, but obviously I hadn't. So the only way I can look at it is that I have to play better. |
