We were called out and we stepped up pretty well. We don't care about being rookies. We just want to play.

That's the Midwestern philosophy of football. We're just a team from down south that is doing it.

We just kept grinding. We ran the ball a lot. You can only do that when you're blocking well.

What rookies expect to start? I mean, the first pick of the draft may start. It's just turned out to be a great fit for me.

Maybe we're just too dumb to know we shouldn't be doing this. And we really don't care.

It went in very, very slowly ... it was slow motion. I'm pretty excited it went in.
