For Week 2, I'm sure it gives you a little something to get going on the game.
I was definitely in too much pain for most of the season and not feeling the way I want to feel. Just to feel good enough to practice and play the game is something I guess I've taken for granted a little bit.
When you hear that date, it just can't help but jog your memory. You hear 9/11, it just makes you think of what happened. Plus, I think we played San Francisco the first game after 9/11.
There's really no excuse for it, but it would be better to just have more preparation. I think this week we at least have one game against their defense, plus they have the same defensive coordinator as last year.
It'll come back late in the season, you'll be looking at that game as one you should have won, and shoulda, woulda, coulda, and all that stuff. But you can't do anything about it, so you have to do something about it this week.
