On when he knew he would play in today’s game: “This week, kind of wanted to feel it out throughout the week. Really the big thing has just been how it responds. I was working and it (my knee) wasn’t responding, so we just kind of worked and kind of waited until the next day to see how it felt and yesterday it felt all right. This morning it felt better.”
On if him practicing without game action has been due to his knee not responding the way he needed it to: “It’s that and it’s about more so just getting my body ready. I haven’t put on shoulder pads since Week 1. I haven’t hit anybody. I haven’t done a lot of things, so I had to kind of get my feet back under me.”
On his nerves with the team being in another pressure-filled game: “I kind of just got in the condition. Early on in the year watching it was giving me a heart attack every week, but now it’s kind of like you settle into it. You kind of know it’s going to happen and you kind of expect to win. I think that’s kind of the mentality a lot of guys have, offense and defense. When we’re in those situations we expect to win. It’s not as much hesitation as it once was.”
