He's been a little hands-on in running the team. He's smart to let the football people he's hired run the team.
He was going through a really, really tough thing. I saw him right before he approached coach Holmgren, and he was real shook up.
He's playing, as far as I'm concerned. Why wouldn't you? It's a big game.
He is definitely a threat that people are aware of at all times.
He doesn't get the respect that he probably deserves. He's a great player for us and always has been since I've been here.
Having Darrell back is big. He adds that little something to our offense. To have him as another weapon on our offense is big.
Having Darrell back is big. He adds a little something to our offense. He's very quick. He's very explosive. He's been the most productive receiver ever since I've been here, and even before that. To have him as another weapon on our offense is big.
He looked great. He looked like the old 82.
What else is he going to do? You can only play so much golf, or do so much hunting.
When he went down, their guys were excited and our crowd answered back in a great way with kind of an MVP chant. It was good for our offense and we felt we actually had the momentum after that.
I'm a little bit in shock right now. Standing up on that podium, raising that NFC championship trophy, in front of our stadium - totally full - it's definitely a dream come true.
I'm almost embarrassed. I took two years of French in high school, and I hadn't the slightest clue what he was saying.
I don't know. We've got the Pro Bowl coming up, and maybe that will help get that bad taste out of our mouth. But right now this is tough to swallow.
I don't know. We could take a halftime and do the orange slices and all that kind of stuff. I'm not worried about it.
