A.J. finishing his whole career like this, we really want to make a statement. We really want to do it for him. |
All they care about is speed and that's one thing I've got. |
Derek is a real smart player and a smart person, period. He can step up and do the job. |
He and his brother are real close. This being his first year and everything, we're really going to have to take Derek in our arms and carry him along. |
He came and sat in my room. He just basically told us some officers had arrived. He really didn't go into detail because he didn't want to say anything. He was just scared. |
He makes so many big plays, and that's the thing we're going to miss most. He can do a whole lot. |
He's down, of course. He's in disbelief. I told him I was 100 percent behind him. |
He's down. Anybody else would be down. It's disbelief. At the same time, I told him I was 100 percent behind him. |
He's down. Of course, he's down. |
He's more of a running back at the quarterback position. At the same time, he can throw the ball really well. We're going to have to step on his toes. |
Him and his brother are real close. Since his brother's not here anymore and it's his first year at a bowl game, we're really going to have to put Derek on our arms and carry him along with us. |
His eyes are going to be like a deer in the headlights. |
I called him and told him I'd be praying for him and I'm behind him 100 percent. He seemed down. He seemed in disbelief. |
I didn't want to give it up. I really didn't know things were going to turn out like this. |
I don't think you can be taught that. It's something that's just in me. When I get on that field, my intentions are to just go out there and try to punish people. Not in a bad way, but that's how I play football. |
