breaking game last pressure season situation teammates
It's been a situation where my body's been breaking down. The last thing I wanted to do going into a game like this and going into a season was going to tell my teammates this was going to be the last game. I never wanted to put that kind of pressure on my teammates for them to even think that.

It's great to get here, but we're here to win it. This doesn't mean anything unless we win.

bit care drag gone last process year
It's disappointing in a sense that the organization said last year they're going to take care of him, and it wasn't resolved. I think they could have gone through this process a little bit earlier. They didn't have to drag it this far.
everybody team
It's disappointing for us. We know we're a better team than that. But everybody is 0-0 now. We did everything we had to do to get in. Now we're in, and let's see what happens.
It's better than I ever thought it would be.
Everyone in this organization wanted to get this one for you all.
everybody locker role special
Everybody is unselfish. Everyone understands they have a role. If their role is expanded, that's great. If it's reduced, that's understood. I think that what is so special about this locker room. There are no 'Me and I' guys. It's all about the team.
