At first, I didn't know what to expect but I do say that I love our defensive coordinator, Tim Lewis.
He's young. You know what? If you don't believe that, maybe you shouldn't be here. They believe they are the best. We believe we are the best. We are not bad at all. In my opinion, we are the best because I am part of that combo.
Maybe this upcoming week we will play like the Redskins played, with the same type of win-and-you're-in and lose-and-you're-out type of mentality.
It's incredible. To watch those guys move the ball, throw the ball, and put up points like they did, it's great. And the crowd loves it because they haven't seen offense like this in years.
I didn't know where I was. If I knew where I was, I would have fallen down. That would have been the smart thing to do.
I don't do anything I don't want to do. There are so many opportunities that come my way, but if there's something out there that I don't want to do, I truly don't do it, because I have to maximize my time. If there's truly an opportunity to be quiet and be by myself, I do it.
Hopefully, by the time the game's over, there'll be 10 people in the stands. We have to treat this like it's our last game. No one wants to depend on winning in Oakland.
Even though I'm not with their mother, it's important for my kids to see adults in a committed and happy relationship. They need to see a strong relationship. You don't have to settle.
(It) is a lot better. My eye opened up (Sunday) and felt like it was droopy all day. It has opened up a little bit better. I can see it is a little bit more black and blue, but I just have to put my modeling career on hold for a few weeks.
It's incredible to watch those guys move the ball, control the clock and put up points.
You want to make something happen on defense, and for a guy who is managing a game or just kind of sits backs there and tries to pick you apart, it is a little frustrating. Defensively you want that one opportunity to make something happen. When you have a guy who plays smart like that, it makes it a little bit more difficult.
If your kids see what you eat, they will probably eat it, too. I'm not going to use the old-school policy of what my mother did and say to my kids, 'Well, if you are hungry enough, you will eat what I put on the table!' I think my kids have an understanding that if they see what their parents do, they should follow, too.
Coming out here and taking teams lightly will get us beaten. They threw the ball up and had some fun with it. It's not as if they were just lining up and saying 'Come and get him.' We all know if they did that, they wouldn't have had success throwing the ball. We gave up easy plays defensively. To make things easy is frustrating.
I think I've done just about everything I could do as a leader, ... You lead by words, by example.
