When they signed him back, I called him and congratulated him. I told him that there was going to be riots over there if they hadn't gotten him back and we both laughed.
He was telling Marc, 'C'mon, throw it my way,' ... and I told him, 'We're going to throw the football -- you just have to make a play on it.'
I have been saying all along that as long as our offensive line protects the quarterback and the defensive line plays well, this will be a good football team, ... I think we displayed that.
I don't expect anything less. If I have an opportunity to go up against him one-on-one, you best believe I'm going to try to burn him or take him deep and score a touchdown on him.
He said he was feeling better. He has a pretty good spirit about things, and that's the most important thing. That helps us. If he's high-spirited, then we can go out and be high-spirited.
I can't make the calls. I have to go by what's called. Coach felt that was the approach he wanted to take in order to give ourselves a chance to win. ... That was his decision and how he felt at the time.
The other guys like Shaun (McDonald), and Kevin (Curtis), and Dane (Looker) are going to have to step up and make some plays. And those guys did (against the Giants). I think they came out and did a hell of a job.
Thus far, it's been a lot of praise to each other. As the week shortens, I'm sure things will heat upOnce we get out there on the field, I'm sure we'll beef it up a little bit.
Things are still bubbly here. It's Week 2. That's (Week 1 game against the 49ers) a game we felt we should have won.
The schemes that they run are very disciplined... very sound, very confident...We know we have to be very focused and very disciplined in all facets of our game if we want to be able to move the football against this bunch.
I've never seen a running back play at the level he plays at. I remember my rookie season, there were times I was supposed to be blocking my guy on the outside and I was watching him.
The more and more I get used to it, the more and more comfortable I feel with it,
Coach (Mike Martz) kind of challenged us this week to come out against Detroit and play well and we did that on both sides of the ball,
He always thinks good things, so I'm sure he's thinking positive and hopefully he'll be ready to go, too, on Sunday. He looked real good, he looked crisp. It's a good sign.
