I think he is showing the world how good he is. It's kind of like watching your little brother grow into a superstar. It's an awesome feeling.
My mom told me a long time ago that the running back was a great position, but it's also the craziest. She's like, 'You know everybody's chasing you, right?' Once you chose to be a running back, you take the good with the bad.
I was going all out and whatever happens happens. It's football. No one is ever 100 percent. I was good enough to play.
He is really athletic and I think he will do well. He has to be in the right system and everybody has to be patient with him. He has a really good arm and can scramble, and he'll have to learn to do it at the pro level.
Everybody will be surprised when they see Matt and how good he is.
Our defense did good enough for us to win, and we didn't help them out at all. Jacksonville did what they wanted to do against us, which is throw us around. They totally controlled the whole game.
The way I always looked at MVPs was it was a player that did really, really good on a really, really good team. That is why I am even more excited about this year because I have put together some great numbers but we have a great team.
We did let a good opportunity to be world champions slip away.
We realized what it takes to beat good teams. We got to see it in one crazy environment. D.C. has some loud, great fans. That was an eye-opener for us.
I just think teams have been doing a good job of kicking my teeth in.
He's in good spirits and he's going to be all right.
It was exciting because we were down coming out of halftime and then we had a good drive to go score a touchdown. That's about it.
It's always good to win a game that you're down, win games that you should win. Our last drive was 93 yards. That's what championship teams do. We know that, and we're doing that.
I think that we have a lot of guys that really need to rest up. They are playing hurt and playing beat up, which is football. But I think the timing is going to be good for us.
