It bothers me, because it's not on him. The team didn't perform like we should have. And to read articles about him like that makes me mad. I can't say the things I think when I read those things, but it really hurts me. It's gut-wrenching sometimes.

We try to keep it reasonable. It's not necessarily that we don't trust our guys. We don't trust other people. We want to keep our guys out of situations where something (negative) can happen.

I think in the whole game I may have only missed five plays, and that was just because (the coaches) put somebody else in during that time. I actually feel all right. A little sore, but I had a deep-tissue massage the other day, so that could be what some of my soreness could be.
