He's a backside runner. If he catches you running to the ball, he'll make you pay for it. Him making you pay for it is a lot different than other backs. Most times, it will cost you 10 yards or so. With him, he'll take it 50 yards for a touchdown.

It's a shame the way that game turned out because Tommy deserves more recognition than he's going to get now.

I bull-rushed the guy. He tackled me. The ref threw the flag, late. So I'm thinking he's calling holding. But it wasn't. It was tripping. On me.

change end guys reasons teams
[Gosh can one guy, I mean, only one, change a team so completely? Evidently he can. Yeah, I could quibble and say Michael Vick's passing was way off Sunday night, but so what? Did you see the faces of those fans? Did you see the way the Falcons' defense was playing? How can a QB make the defense so much better?] Because it's easy to play defense like this,.. It's harder when the other team has 10 minutes more of possession time than you do.

We need people. We got money. We don't have people.

I spent last year with [former Eagles defensive end Derrick] Burgess in Oakland, and he misses this place, too. He had nothing but good things to say about this organization and the city.
