The things you don’t have control over, you don’t worry about. I have control over my attitude, my perception, how I do things, and you do the very best job you can. Other people have control over other things and you let them do their jobs.
"
I think it was coach Lombardi that said, ‘Adversity doesn’t build character, it reveals it.’ And that’s so true.
"
I'm not the only one hurting in (the locker room) when I talk to the team. Those guys are very, very disappointed.

"
Not playing him a lot allows this injury to heal even more.
"
The thing is the guys battled. They didn't stop. I think the team as a group are fairly resilient, fairly together. I don't see them cracking in spite of any of the adversity we face.
"
There was a miscommunication, from what I understand, on that touchdown, ... I have to look at the tape. It looked like we were out of position to make that play.
