He changed the game right there for us. It improved our field position and changed the momentum. It was a big play for us. When he was down you're thinking how you don't want to see anyone get hurt. He's such a key factor for this offense. You get a little worried. But he bounced back and he's OK. |
He got asked to be brought into it by the Chargers, ... After I'd made my decision and told them, they wanted to talk to my dad and visit with him, so he agreed to talk to them. It wasn't him talking to me or any of his (doing) because of his experience with the Saints. He had nothing to do with it, so I'd like to clear that up. |
He knew what was important to him, and he made his decision and stood by it. |
He wants to play. He is a competitor, so I know he will do everything he can to get ready for this game. |
He was a great guy to learn from. Just how he acted as a professional, the way he handled the media and all. And when things got bad for me, he said all the right things. |
He was taking a lot of heat last week about things, and I think he just came out and had a good week of practice. He didn't say anything about it, he didn't apologize to me; he didn't have to. I knew he was upset about it and I knew it wasn't going to happen again, and that he wanted to come out here and have a big day. |
He's been a good player in this league for a long period of time and I've always enjoyed watching him play. For me, I didn't know what was going to happen. Obviously, things were going on and he didn't feel like he wanted to be here. I didn't pay much attention to it. |
He's got a playoff team, we're coming off a 6-10 season. When he talks to the media, they're talking about getting to the Super Bowl. I'm not getting those questions. I'm not saying that. I'm just saying that we're trying to get better. We're in two different leagues. |
Hopefully we can put all that's happened with the Chargers in the past. |
I am still making mistakes, ... Two drives in two games does not mean that you have things figured out. |
I am worried. Obviously you just have to wait and see what the damage is. I'll call my parents later today and they'll probably have a better feel for what's going on. You just pray that people are OK and that the damage is not as bad as it can be. |
I can take him in basketball. That's not a competition. Football is another story. I'm still trying to get to his level of play. |
I can't imagine New Orleans not being rebuilt, being the same way it was, |
I commend them on their effort. They're playing with a lot of people behind them. In this league, you take wins when you can. |
I didn't play well, and I made too many mistakes for us to win today. It was not the way I wanted to come out and play. |
