[PANTHERS: S Mike Minter returned to practice and is confident his strained right calf won't prevent him from playing against the Dolphins.] There's no pain, that's a great sign, ... I went full speed and I was able to break on the ball and do things I normally do. So I feel like I will play. |
Any time you give that man (Favre) life he will make plays. You definitely don't want to be in that situation with Brett Favre. ... Once he got back into his rhythm, Brett Favre began to be Brett Favre. |
At the end of the day, this is how we get our respect. We win a Super Bowl. That's how we get our respect. If we do that, and people don't respect us, guess what? It doesn't matter. We're still world champs. |
Because he's honest. He tells it like it is. That's all you can ask for from a coach. Even if it's not what you want to hear, it's better to be honest about it. At least you know where he's coming from. |
Does it surprise me that he still makes plays? Absolutely not, because I see what he does in the weight room in March, April and May. The guy is an inspiration to everyone in this locker room. |
Every time you see those highlights, and they're always showing it, it's definitely on your mind. |
Football players don't lay down. They're going to fight, they're going to get up and they're going to come back. That's what he's going to do. |
He came here advertised as a shutdown corner, and that's what he was in the second half. We put him on Fitzgerald, and then it was up to the rest of us in the back to shut down everyone else. |
He came up and made some nice tackles on the run game and some aggressive hits on the pass game, |
He had been killing us in practice and that is why coach Fox had to put him up. He had been making plays on our defense and really looking good. |
He is going to make a play. He is going to make a big play sooner or later. |
He told us we've got to win on the road; that if we don't, we're not going to be successful. |
He was aggressive. They didn't test him much in the pass game, but I'm sure he will show you that he can cover, too. And he showed the speed too. He's smart. He knows football. That's another aspect people don't talk about. You look at the physical part, but he has the mental part, too. And he studies well. That's what you want in a corner. |
He was smart, physical when he had to be. He could cover, read routes. He could do it all. |
He was young. and it showed, ... But he'll get better, he'll learn from that. I think that was the biggest thing, just inexperience, the first time being in a real live game, the first time somebody game plans for you. That's a different feeling. |
