It would have been hard for me to come back if I went down.

I don't want to leave, I don't think I'm going to leave and if I do, I'll be as shocked as anybody. I've told the organization that I want to retire as a Falcon. I'm a staple with this team and my teammates. They know what I can do game in and game out. I've proven myself to be consistent with what I do.

This is a huge, huge game. Is it the Super Bowl? Not yet, but it's a playoff game.

The uncle, the one that nobody one knew where he was at, is in Baton Rouge, ... We're still looking for some cousins. My grandfather — he came up. It's just a blessing, but I have so many family members that have just lost everything. Their homes and everything. I have a bunch of friends that are just traumatized. There's still a lot of people they haven't heard from. Their family members, parents, kids separated from their moms.

The players love him, ... He's young, energetic. He gets in your face. He's a guy who can challenge you, but do it in the right way. Guys respect that. You have to take chances to play well and to win games. He thinks like us. So when you see that, you kind of respect that and you want to go out and play for him.
