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),
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,
I don't think there's any substitute for experience, because experience sometimes is better than talent. But if you're unsure of what guys can do, there's only one way to find out and that's play for real and see.
In my gut, I feel like they're OK, but with each minute that passes, I begin to wonder. This is one of those situations where I would love to do whatever I could to help a lot of people, but I don't even know where to start.

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.
I don't know if we have to prove anything to the rest of the world,
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.'
No one is going to hand us anything, especially now,
Guys just stepped up to the plate and hit home runs. It was fun to be in a game like that.
Most of those people are still there because they have nothing to go home to.
Off the field, he did so much for so many people. He really reached a lot of people. ... He was a great friend on and off the field. We'll all miss him.
There's no airport. Pretty much everyone is better off staying put.
