complete control joe
Joe has complete control of this team, honestly.
deserves happy joe none people retire saying stayed web worked
He deserves it. He really does. He's worked so hard. He stayed with us. People told him to retire. Now look at him. Nobody's saying to retire and no more Joe must go Web sites. None of that. I'm just so happy for him.
calm coach excited few joe last
We wanted to come back from last week, ... We were really excited going into this game. Joe (coach Joe Paterno) had to tell us to calm down a few times.
joe
It's Joe Paterno. What more can I say. Who wouldn't want to play for Joe Paterno?
forgot joe oh
Oh man, don't say that. I forgot I had it in. It's one of those things where we're not around Joe right now.
guys plays stepped
I think we're pretty much comfortable with any one of those guys in the backfield. They've all stepped up and made big plays this preseason. We feel comfortable with any of those guys going.
criticize helped jay people talking
Jay has helped me a lot. Those people that criticize him really don't know what they're talking about.
answer best fit shocked whatever
I said, 'Man, I just don't see where I fit in here. His answer actually shocked me. He said, 'Well, Mike, whatever you do, I'll still be your boy. Do what you have to do and do what's best for you.' That reaction, that response, made me look at things in a different light.
environment expecting people retail typical
Reruns is not located in a typical retail environment. People are expecting to see a lawyer's office, not a kids' shop, in that part of town.
changed days eyes fortunate left playing prize since
Playing for Paterno is all good. Nothing has changed since the days we were losing. We never left our eyes off the prize and I'm just fortunate enough to be here as part of this team.
plays respect
I tell them all the time, you have to make plays first before we'll get any respect from a secondary.
spend
It is expensive, but as long as it's efficient, we'll spend the money.
case court decision disagree forward respect taking
While we respect the court, we disagree with the court's decision and we look forward to taking our case to the Court of Appeals.
drive felt halftime upset
That drive was all about heart. Derrick was kind of upset at halftime because he felt like he could do some things on the outside, but we weren't getting him the ball. I told him to be patient.
