So many times in my life, people have tried to make me a failure.
We knew what this game meant. We knew we had to win to have any chance.
We're playing decent football right now. We're not playing great football by any stretch of the imagination. And decent football is only going to get you so far. We've got to eventually get good, then get great.
This probably was our most complete game since Philadelphia.
When I came out of college, shoe companies can identify marketable people, and I think I was identified as someone who could potentially move some units and merchandise.
If you were ever to interview me after a football game or at a football game or around me during football season is totally different than when you catch me away from football.

I know talent when I see it. I know frauds when I see 'em. I know players that can play and can't play.
