When we had four guys down rushing the quarterback I can only remember once where I rushed just me against him.

I just looked at the tape and they kept the tight end in and they chip-blocked and all of that. But they can say whatever they want to say - we will see them again.

Jordan (Carstens) has played and Kindal (Moorehead) has played, so we feel good about those guys. You have to go to be ready when someone goes down.

It seems like there is always more pressure on us, not from in here, but from outsiders who don't know what's going on, ... It's always the D-line's fault that we're not getting pressure.

We've got people to come in when somebody goes down. Everybody on this team knows that they're one play away from someone getting hurt and having to come on to the field. If we lose one player, we should have someone else come in and be ready to go.

One person isn't going to cause a tremendous drop-off, contrary to popular belief. We aren't just going to fall off without Kris. We still play hard, and we still have great players.

That's what they do — and they are very good at it. Brady knows where he wants to throw the ball and he is very quick, so we just have to try to get there.

We just wanted to get it some rest. When I found out about it, I just said let's not make a big deal about it. That was the real deal. It's been two weeks. It's game time, and now I'm back.
