Just like those two guys were different kinds of backs, we got the same thing here,'' Skipper says.

Willie's a warrior for us. He's one of those guys when he talks, he backs up what he says. He works hard after practices. He'll be on the bike after a game. He tries to get better, and he has a lot of respect from guys in our dressing room.

Coach [John Fox] let me know that Stephen was down and it was going to be on my shoulders, me and Rod [Smart]. We just wanted to answer the call and keep on going ... I always knew in the back of my mind I was going to be all right. But it was tough, just coming off it. You've just got to stay positive and go from there.

It shouldn't have come down to that really. We didn't make enough plays throughout the game for it to come down to just one play.
