Every offensive lineman in the league is going to tell you that all they want to do is run the ball. With a back like Clinton, we just wanted a chance to prove that we...

Obviously, it’s going to be interesting. Patrick has a great future in this league, and I would hate to see him go, but that’s what might have to happen because of his situation.

Mark’s been around for eons, it seems like. He’s kind of seen everything. He’s experienced everything. He knows when to keep it loose, he knows when it’s time to work.

I think this year he showed everybody the quarterback he still is. I haven’t heard a single naysayer on this team.

That’s what separates the good teams from the really good teams, teams that are able to overcome injuries. That offense definitely can do that. They’ve got a terrific offensive line, they’ve got a real smart...

He always calls himself the old guy. He says, ‘All right guys, the old guy’s in here, we might need a little more protection,’ something like that.

It seems that way. I don’t know if it’s a physical thing or a mental thing. But whatever it is, it’s come to bite us the last three weeks in a row now. It really...
