You've got 11 guys coming at you with their heads peeled back, wanting to knock you out. You have to be crazy.
The uncle, the one that nobody one knew where he was at, is in Baton Rouge, ... We're still looking for some cousins. My grandfather he came up. It's just a blessing, but I have so many family members that have just lost everything. Their homes and everything. I have a bunch of friends that are just traumatized. There's still a lot of people they haven't heard from. Their family members, parents, kids separated from their moms.
I'm probably about 90 percent. I really don't have pain, but I'm not 100 percent confident.
A lot of guys gave a lot, and all I can do is say thank you. But it's not for me, it's for those families in the southern coastal region that were affected.
Of course there is, ... If we can go through a game and not have any negative plays and we can always gain 4 yards on each run, then I think we're doing something. We're not there yet.
The players love him, ... He's young, energetic. He gets in your face. He's a guy who can challenge you, but do it in the right way. Guys respect that. You have to take chances to play well and to win games. He thinks like us. So when you see that, you kind of respect that and you want to go out and play for him.
We've got a good system in place. Guys know their roles, and we've got a capable backup. If Mike isn't 100 percent, then Matt will step right in.
You feel like you're underappreciated and undervalued all the time. Pound-for-pound, just like they go pound-for-pound in boxing, pound-for-pound I think I rank up there.
We really had to wear down a great front four. Their guys are beasts, but ... that drive was a monster.
We'd have a list of charities, and say, 'These are the ones that effective. Which ones do you want to do?' This lets guys vote on where they want to put money, and we can put money in different areas, ... Guys want to see where the money's going to be used, not just that you're giving it to somebody and one half's going to overhead and one's half going someplace else. They want to know that it's being used and used right.
We want to make teams put seven in the box and back those safeties up. It's coming.
