dirty game glory good guys jersey job throwing yards
Our job is to make those guys successful. We know no glory is going to come to us. But if we can get our quarterback throwing for 300 yards and after the game he's not limping and his jersey's not dirty, and Rudi's jersey is dirty and he's running, that's a good game for us.
bones break easy guys hand realize rocks seven start throwing took
Guys have to realize that it took us 15 years to get here. It's not going to be easy for us. They don't start throwing you bones for another five, six, seven years. We've got to come to work, take the shovel, and break up the rocks with the sledgehammer. It's not going to be easy. It's just the hand that we've been dealt.

biggest city excited game level low saying seen trying
I think it got too big for all of us. Everyone was saying that was the biggest game the city had seen in 15 years, and the whole momentum, the whole thing, got too big for us. So right now, we're trying to keep a level head, an even keel, not get too low or too high. Not get too excited too soon.

It should let go a lot by the end of the week. Everything's stemming from my knee right now. It's not been totally 100 percent.

Physically I'm doing good. It's going to be a while before I get that game-type conditioning and get my second wind in the game.
coming five paul plan ray research rush sat sprint whatever
Ray sat down with Paul and did research in coming up with drills and a plan just for me, ... We'd simulate everything. We'd do the two-minute drill. He'd rush me and if it was a five-yard gain, I'd sprint five yards. Or a 10-yard gain, or whatever it was.

I have to make sure I'm not going to cost myself or the team some valuable time later in the season. It's going to be a long season.
