Mike had his mind made up Saturday, but we didn't know until Sunday. Until I went out there and took the first snap, you don't know. I might have just gone, 'I can't do it.' Once the newness wears off and the toughness wears off, 'I just can't do it.' And I was probably as immobile as I've ever been. I couldn't do anything.
As I talked with (coach) Mike (Sherman) after that game that night, I really didn't know. If I had to make a decision at that particular time, which I knew I didn't, I was not coming back (for the 2005 season),
I said, 'Are you ready for Daddy to quit football?' She said, 'Yeah, I'm ready for you to quit playing football so you can live with us (Deanna and the two girls) full-time in Mississippi.'
I would love to go in. I thought about getting to Tennessee tonight and driving in with some supplies.
My mom, two brothers, their families, my grandmother, my aunt and my uncle are all in a like a 25-square foot house with no power and a tree on top of it,
We obviously have a ways to go offensively. But if you would've told me we would score three points, I would've said you were crazy.
Without watching him that much or being over there, I don't know what all their problems are, but I'm sure he's pressing a lot.
Times have changed for me, and I do have a family and other things to deal with, but I do still love this game,
You have to play with the mentality that you are about to lose your job, and that they're going to talk about 'The Other Guy' first. You have to think, 'I want my name mentioned first.'
Until power is hooked back up, until there are places where you can go get gas and you can go get something to eat, I'm better off being here.
As a coach, they would love to sit there and say, 'It's going to be five steps, you're going to hitch up into a perfect pocket, you're going to look at number one - no; you're going to go to number two - no.' It doesn't work that way.
I, most talented players don't always succeed. Some don't even make the team. It's more what's inside.
We have to get something going and have a short time to get there, ... I couldn't go out like that. If you're going to go back in, do something good.
From the outside, you really wouldn't notice, but it may have been just five or six plays where I felt like I could have dodged a (defender) or made a throw, ... Last year, maybe I dodged a guy, but I was not able to make a throw, or made a throw and was not accurate. I wanted to have a little more stamina and within a 5-yard box be quicker.
