I am fine. I could have played today, but I will play next week. It is tough to watch when we are playing that well. I really wanted to get out there. |
I can't even tell you how many times we both talked about this — about starting an NFL season together, ... We had bunk beds in our bedroom, and we'd stay up and tell each other how we would make it. It's a blessing. |
I can't take too many more of these. That's three in a row. |
I know the initial response from students is, they don't like it at all. |
I think we have a good thing going. It doesn't feel that way right now. There are things I can see and things that we can build off of. |
I was being doubted. The offensive line was being doubted. When people are doubting you, you have to come out and do something. The offensive line really played their best game of the season. When they're playing like that, it's fun for me because I get to pick where I want to go. |
I've got a couple of bumps and bruises, ... But other than that, I feel good. Winning takes a lot of the pain away. |
It was tough knowing that your mom could be down there miles under the ground and something bad could happen. She'd go down there wearing that light on her helmet, pads on her knees and her elbows. She did what everyone else did in the mine. It was hard work. We knew what she did. We knew what sacrifices both our parents made for all of us. |
That was a great drive. We hadn't had one like that all preseason. We needed that because we've been starting slow in the other preseason games. It was a great confidence booster that we can take to San Diego. |
That year helped me grow up, ... He was with the Cardinals, and he wasn't happy with the way his career was going. We worked hard every day because we were trying to have the kind of careers we always dreamed of. |
There are a lot of doubters, and hopefully this performance will shut them up. When you doubt me, this is what I do. |
We didn't have everything we wanted, but we had everything we needed, |
We have talked about it. It would be great to get that. |
