I bull-rushed the guy. He tackled me. The ref threw the flag, late. So I'm thinking he's calling holding. But it wasn't. It was tripping. On me.

It's kind of like the old Barry Sanders Rule. The first person to him wouldn't take a shot at him. First person to him would break down in front of him and try to mirror him to give everybody else a chance. You weren't gonna tackle him by yourself.

He's a backside runner. If he catches you running to the ball, he'll make you pay for it. Him making you pay for it is a lot different than other backs. Most times, it will cost you 10 yards or so. With him, he'll take it 50 yards for a touchdown.

Because it's easy to play defense like this. It's harder when the other team has 10 minutes more of possession time than you do.

That's one of the main reasons he deserves this (Pro Bowl). Teams are having to change their blocking schemes and change their offenses, trying to slow him down. They stick a tight end over there to cover him. They send multiple guys out to check him.

We need people. We got money. We don't have people.

I spent last year with [former Eagles defensive end Derrick] Burgess in Oakland, and he misses this place, too. He had nothing but good things to say about this organization and the city.

When you're playing every snap, the problem is you can't give 110 percent on every play.
