I just threw it up and watched. Mike usually wins those battles.

If our kids see success early, they tend to play up to that success.

I'm kind of the new guy in town. I'm just hoping to follow in both Jonathan and Derek's footsteps.

I'm trying to handle it like any other game ? stay cool and not make it a big deal.

Not just for me personally, but for our team, ... To never let down, never give up. We came back strong. I think it shows a lot of character from a bunch of guys on this team.

It's definitely easier this year. The first day, there is always a lot of stuff that we haven't done in a while. There's always stuff to install. But we had meetings, and I started to feel comfortable. Today was a good day. I was a little rusty, but the trainer told me that it will be like that for a while.

That's the craziest game I've played in my life. The hail, the rain and the game itself. To play on that (hail), it was gnarly. But it was a lot of fun. I'm just happy to come out on top.

That's the difference between the offense clicking this week and not clicking last week. We were in sync tonight, and it was just players making plays. You can't pick out one guy. We had guys catching balls all over the place and spreading it around to people, and when your quarterback is making great decisions, it's a hard offense to stop.

It's not like I got cheated or anything. It's better how it panned out. Ultimately, he got what he wanted and I got what I wanted.

It's a sweet era to be a part of.
