The way it felt then, I thought my leg was going to fall apart, ... I'm fine now.

I wasn't showboating. I just ran out of gas. I've got to give Ben Watson a lot of credit for not giving up and sticking with it and making that play.

Speed can make up for a lot of things. And those boys can all run. You can't substitute that.
bit chance mess pain percent quite smart throughout totally worse
If I can walk, there's a 90 percent chance I'm going to be out there, but I've got to be smart about it, ... I don't want to mess this thing up any worse than it can be. If I can't do things I want to do, then I won't go. But if I can do quite a bit of the things I can do, then I will. I won't say that I have to be totally 100 percent. I'm going to be in pain throughout the year, anyway. So why not play through this if I can?

If I had, I would have tried to shift into another gear, but I don't think I had one. But I definitely thought I was there.

It was a game we necessarily didn't have to win, but we wanted to win regardless. This team is about winning. That's what we think about.
people running stop understand
One thing people don't understand is we play different positions. I can't do what he does, and he can't do what I do. That's kind of irrelevant. Who cares? All I know is that we've got to stop the run, and he's their running back.

I guess we're living right. Everything worked out tonight. ... We have something special here.
