I said to the scouts I was standing with that Ryan would play at the highest level. He was like a ballet dancer when I saw him and I knew we had to get him,

I'll play what you want or I won't play at all.

I really don't feel this is the way we felt we were going to play today. I really feel disappointed in the way we played as a team. We made a lot of mistakes. I'm disappointed.

Clark ended up getting hurt, and I had to play like three quarters, ... The tight end came across the middle, and I knocked him silly and almost knocked myself out. They said I was out, but I don't think I was.

I thought about it before the play even happened. When the ball comes to me with the bases loaded, you know they're going to try to scratch a run across. I just put everything I had behind it. Everyone on the field and in the stands were so excited. I got caught up in the moment.

I was very worried that I wouldn't be able to play in the beginning of the season,
