I'm very impressed. Everyone's goal is to win a championship, and I feel flattered that they think I'm the guy that can lead them to that. I believe that I can, as well.
I played with Rodney, I know what a leader he is, ... It's not only the physical things he does. It's the leadership, the mental toughness, what he imparts to his teammates. I know they've been able to put in a lot of subs over the years and not miss anything, but a player like Rodney is something special.
In the celebration in the end zone I said, 'Superman, you can do it all. He can do a lot of things. Obviously, he had a big game today.
If you told me the score was going to be 20-7, obviously I feel like offensively we're better than that.
If you want to put that on somebody, you can always put it on me.
In my mind, I feel like I'm going to come back better than ever. I wouldn't even call it a setback. I think it's an opportunity for me to just get going a little bit earlier than expected and rehabbing and working out and making sure that when I come back I'm better than I was when I went in.
Champ Bailey just sat on the route and made a great play, ... You don't want to start a half like that, but we still had a lot of football after that.
He's loosened up a little bit. When he came here, he was a great coach, one of the best in the game. Now he's even better. We've learned from him. He's learned from us.
He's a guy who's only going to get better experience. He's a guy I think is going to be an impact player for us down the road.
Gates is fine, ... He's relaxed and he knows his place. We'll just continue to try and get that feel back with one another and whenever he gets on the field, we'll be ready.
I'm sure there's a sigh of relief from the Dolphins, because if there was a team that could (go unbeaten), I'm sure it was these Colts. They're a heck of a football team, and they have a lot to be proud of. Hopefully we'll see them again down the road, sooner than later.
I don't look at it that we're 2-2. We won two in a row. We've just got to keep that streak going,
I do. I think that at times we haven't been as consistent as we need to be. Hence, the fact we're not going to the playoffs. But I do feel when we're out there playing our best, our best this year is better than it was last year.
I did a lot of things last offseason to prepare myself to be the starting quarterback of this team,
