backyard everybody felt forget job kicking shy speaking sure talk
I'm sure they will. We'll be in their backyard and they'll forget what I said. Everybody said it. And I'm not going to shy away from speaking my mind. I mean, I felt like I was kicking their (butt) so I just said it. . . . I say that about everybody. If I'm doing my job and doing it well, then I'm going to talk about it.
closer last
I feel closer to playing, closer to being able to play. Last week, I couldn't.
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?
chance percent
If I can walk, there's a 90 percent chance I'm going to be out there,
definitely shift tried
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.
ball catch pick
I can still pick the ball up, catch the ball things like that. It's not too bad.
definitely guy hard saw time
I definitely thought I was there. But I really didn't have anything left. By the time I got to the 30, I was done. I never saw the guy coming, but I was going as hard as I could.
came
That's sick. In the playoffs? That's not even the whole season. That's 10 games. And about 10 of (the turnovers) came from one person.
heart shows strange
Nothing strange about this, ... This shows the heart of a champion. This is what we expected.
deal week
It's just another week to me. All I've got to deal with is the harness.
apply both bring corners four instead rules
It's OK, the rules apply for both teams. If they're going to do that, though, they should bring four corners over here (per team) instead of three.
hate job missing worse
It makes me feel better about missing a game. I hate to miss, but if we lose, I'll feel even worse about the job I'm doing.
game team win
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.
great talked
It was a great play by me. I made the play, but it was something we'd talked about the whole game.
