big upgrade at punter, showing a strong leg and exceptional directional-kicking ability. |
Carolina has been known for the last five years to have the best special teams in the league. We wanted to use that as a measuring stick to see where we stood. I guess we saw those results. |
I guess we saw those results. We just have to get better at what we do. As far as personnel, we have the guys to get it done. It was an awakening for us to realize we've got to get better. |
I made an unofficial visit there a couple of months ago and an official visit two weeks ago (along with Lowenthal) and decided that it was the right place for me. |
I never felt so bad after a win. We've got to get better as a punt unit. I was sick last night. |
I'm a little sore, but I'm fine. I can still punt the ball. I can still hold the ball (for Adam Vinatieri). I had an angle on him, but you had the worst athlete on the team, trying to tackle the best athlete on the team. |
I'm really trying not to heckle them because I don't want to stoop to that level. I don't like it when fans heckle me. But, then again, (the replacements) don't deserve to be out there. |
Immediately after the game, what does he do? He gives credit to everybody else on the planet earth. That's unbelievable. |
It was just a matter of time for the coaches at Harmony to see what kind of game I play. |
It's heartbreaking. It's opening day and I'm not working. Just like players and fans, umpires look forward to opening day. |
It's the worst feeling in the world. Luckily there wasn't five quarters in that football game because that's a big-time momentum change. |
That's just silly. At the end of the day, any one of us in here, we don't care who we're playing. It doesn't matter. You still strap it on. You're going to play a good team regardless. That's how we look at it. |
The thing that cracks me up is we've practiced that. I guarantee you, we're the only team on Earth that practices that. If Flutie goes down, I'm the backup drop-kicker. |
We started practicing the drop kick and I thought, with anybody else, you've got to be crazy. But everything he touches seems to turn up roses. |
We think that an in-home candle-lighting is more intimate and opens up an ideal setting for people to meet one another. |
