I didn't know how big Willie was until I stood next to him. I'm 6-5, 320. Willie's a big man. His body ... he's big, he's a very big guy. He reminds me of a Lincoln Kennedy, (Jonathan) Ogden, a lot of those guys. Levi is more my size. They're doing a real good job.

I had a meeting with coach Edwards. He's a great coach. He's been around, played in the league a long time. It made sense to come back next year and give it another chance. Talking to him, I just thought we had some unfinished business. We needed to get back and see what we could do.

We just have to get out there and play hard like we have all year. It's been unfortunate some weeks for us. But we still have a chance. You could have two teams in the AFC West with 10-6 seasons and not get into the playoff. You all know it's tough in the AFC; it's especially tough in the AFC West.

Coach has had a great career, a great run. Whatever he does, we wish him the best.

That's one of the best plays I've seen a running back make in my career.

I thought about (retiring). I talked to Will and some of the guys. Then last year we finished so strong at the end of the year. It was great seeing Will come back. That helped, too.

I never heard him say one word about it the whole time since he's been back. He's going through a lot right now. We just want him to be OK.
