One time he was running out and I heard him yelling at me, and it was happening too fast, ... He said, 'I was going to ask you how to put the ball on the tee.' Not real good.

It was terrible. At that moment you don't know if it's a passing thing or if it's life-threatening.

Getting old? ... I don't believe it. I mean, possibly, but I don't think so. I mean, I know I came in the same shape and have worked hard and haven't slacked off. That's what puzzles me. I'm not quite sure what led to this.

I feel like I hurt it, ... But I'll do whatever I can to be ready to go.

Is it something that I can work through or is it something that is going to be a problem? ... I'll try my hardest, but at the same time, if I can barely do it and I can't do anything else, I could get us killed by acting like I can go.

The ball doesn't spring off your foot when it's cold. You want to get used to that before you get out there.

Physically, yeah, but mentally the reason I'm good is you fight the battle to stay good.

Hopefully, this is the week. I'm doing some stuff and there hasn't been any pain, but these have been baby steps. We'll see what happens when I try things on Wednesday.

That's the danger of getting hurt as a kicker, and I knew it, ... It was like, 'Here's a big game, and all of a sudden we're going to have to start passing up long field goals.' .
