“I don’t believe it’s truly hit me yet. I think when I see others who have been in the praiseworthy ring, Marty Lyons, Wayne Chrebet, Scratch Mangold, Revis, I get it — these folks were wonderful players in their time, ostensibly awesome. I believe it’s difficult to see yourself in that light.

“Having the opportunity to eliminate yourselves from that second, so you can truly reflect and perhaps say ‘alright,’ perhaps the work paid off.”

“At the point when I consider Revis and how dreaded he was. Individuals wouldn’t toss to his side and when they did, they got punished each and every time. That helps your offense as it permits individuals not to score focuses and get focuses on protection and it adds to anything we are doing.

“I feel that we can go in together says a lot about how well we had the option to play on the whole and that is something else that I consider frequently.”
