We knew this was going to be our night. We knew it all week. This was one of those special weeks. We heard all week about how there was no way New England could lose. We had a great week and knew this was going to be the night.
bouncing days dwelling guy instead tremendous
He's going to have days like that. I've had them and I'm going to have some more. The thing that would be encouraging is him bouncing back and having one of those tremendous days where you say, 'That's the guy that we're used to seeing' and the guy we want to see. Those are the things you really want to encourage, instead of dwelling on some negatives.
amazing game guy guys league learn loved playing separated shoulder toughness
I loved playing with (Zimmerman). The guy had a separated shoulder in a game and didn't give up a sack. It's amazing. He's an amazing player, and one that young guys in the league can learn from from a know-how and toughness standpoint.

For me, it's almost like it is back at Dove Valley for me. Guys are like, 'Rod, what do I do on this?' because they figure I know all (that's going on).
guys learn lots outside piece talent talented walls
And it isn't always talent. There are lots of talented guys outside these walls who can't get in. It ain't just talent. Guys want to say it is, but it's only one piece of the puzzle. They learn that or they do something else for a living.
guys
I just see the young guys come in every year, they want what you have, to go where you've gone. You know it isn't forever, but you want to keep going.
ball both chance fun guys mess side
You've got those two guys, and both of them want to be the other one, but it's fun. That's the thing. Those guys know what they do and how they really make their money. They get the chance to go on the other side of the ball and mess around a little bit.
