A player delights in playing in front of a good crowd. If they don't think anybody cares, it makes for a bad situation.

It has been so hard. We went as far as we could, playing in front of a Canadian crowd like this, under the Canadian microscope. All we care is we're happy with it and people can think what they want. Until you're here, until you're playing in this atmosphere, you have no idea and people can think and say what they want.

I think they are very good. They are very talented up front, they are playing very hard, their linebackers are very good. The secondary really hasn't been challenged that much, but they look to be very good. I think they are very much improved from last year. Of course, mostly the same guys are back.

The nodded “NO” word to the genuine & legitimate demand of talent is a gifted double-edged sword that cuts only givers both ways than takers. For takers, the term “NO” is often “Newer Opportunity” but for giver it can be his “Newer Opponent” as well.

The crowd got on me. That got me going. I wanted to prove I'm a better player than that.

I think overall, ... they're just playing outstanding up front.
