I was nervous at first, but after the first couple of plays it was like playing a game in high school or college. You just go out and play and block the guy in front of you.

I love the city. All my family is up there. I've been going there for many years, so I'm looking forward to going back.

That'll be for all the people who doubted us.
good microscope middle people rough spots took weak whatever
Naturally, there was going to be the big microscope on the right side. But we weren't about to make it so people called us the weak links. We were going to do whatever it took to be a good line. We had some rough spots in the middle of the year, but now we're all on the same page.
