felt game halftime knows took watched
Everyone that watched the game and knows how I play could tell there was something on my knee, ... I didn't feel as mobile. We took it off at halftime and taped it and it felt a lot better. If I can go without a brace, I'm going to do it.
bus last year
After last year I told Bus I'm going to get him back to Detroit.

It's kind of tough seeing David go through that, being a friend and a fellow quarterback.

If I would have thrown it a little harder it would have been a touchdown.

He's the guy who gets them going, ... I think they probably played even more inspired when he went down. They started losing guys on offense and defense, and we didn't take advantage.

Because of all the changes they had to make, they had people all over the place. Guys were going down, they were moving people around. They had a guy who's normally a linebacker (Mike Vrabel) lining up at safety and playing deep.

I have a lot of confidence in my offensive line, ... I think (it) will do a great job of protecting me.

I felt really comfortable out there. A lot of that has to do with the offensive line. They gave me a lot of time. I didn't get touched too much today.
supposed
When Jerome fumbled, we were over there talking, saying, 'Well, there must be a reason, because he doesn't fumble. So, somehow, something's supposed to happen.

We haven't run a lot of plays that fit me getting out of the pocket, ... Once we start game-planning, that's to our strength and our advantage.

We're the underdogs going into their place. Now we get to see what we can do.
