We were sick about that. Kerry Collins is not the fastest guy, first of all. |
We're building something. He said something last week that kind of got, I think, misconstrued, didn't come out right. The thing is, we understand. We bought in, we're buying in and we have to continue to do that. |
We're supposed to be the modern-day gladiators. This is a big, macho world where people think you can't talk about difficult things from your childhood. You're talking about putting yourself in a very vulnerable position and that's hard for people with this kind of mentality. |
We've been joking he was trying to take the ball away from me more than he was trying to help me get in the end zone. |
When everybody's coming off the field and one guy's coming on the field, it's kind of weird. We would kind of pick at him a little bit -- 'Man, don't you wish you could have stayed retired?' But he comes back in and he's washed down in sweat and he's tired because he's gone out and he's worked hard. As one of his peers, I certainly can appreciate that. |
You think, 'Oh my God, here we go again.' But it's a credit to this team, to our character, to the people in this locker room who responded. We didn't let it get us down, we didn't fall into that hole -- because it was there. It was sucking us in. Guys fought their way out. |
