Kelly Herndon Quotations

We've still got to work on our communication and work on our tackling. But as far as us getting together and flying to the ball, that showed (Monday).

The only way to get respect is to win the whole thing. Everybody talks about our offense, but defense wins championships and that's what we came here to do. We face a great offense in practice every day. We're ready. I think we're as physical and fast as any defense in the league.

We're just taking it step by step right now. I've got to see how I feel in practices and then how I feel for the game.

Nervous is not even a word in this league. You can't be nervous. You go out there and you do what you do. You respect your opponent; you earn the respect of your opponent. You always look forward to playing against one of the top receivers in the league. He didn't get there for no reason.

I got up and tried to shake it off.

I didn't make enough plays, so I didn't play (well). That's the way I look at it, ... I tried to do what I can, but I pride myself on making plays, and I didn't make enough today.

He means a lot to us. He brings a lot of fire to us. That's the way he made plays. He'd intercept a pass or make a hit, and he'd inspire us. He brings that energy to the locker room and on the field.

He's definitely mellowed out. He had no choice but to mellow out.

It doesn't matter what you do in life, you always have the opportunity to get where you want to be. If you want to achieve your dream, just keep working hard at it. No matter what you do, you can get to where you want to get.

You know what's going on, you know the situation. You just wish you would have made this move or jumped this route or something like that.

When a situation like that happens, especially against a passing team, I have to switch up everything,

They tried to run a pick play on me, but I read it right and went underneath.

At first, I was a little worried. I know this is my livelihood. They show you a video and they say all the bad things that can happen to you.

It's tough to put into words. I couldn't imagine how the Buffalo Bills feel after losing four of these.

It's definitely an interesting offense. They don't call it the Greatest Show on Turf for nothing.

It's very weird. I was a young guy in Denver last year. They mess with me a little bit ... but I'm still young in this game. It's a big difference to leave Denver and come over here and be the elder.

It was good to go out there, see how the receivers run their routes and get to know them now that I'm in this division. I had a lot of fun out there. It was great to get out there and get a big win.

If you knew him and knew what kind of guy he is and how he treats his players, you have to go to war for somebody like that. All he asks for is for you to give 110 percent on that field and for you to know what you're doing. If you can't do that, then we've got a problem.

I get a chance to focus on one side, how things look on my side of the ball. Before this, I was focusing on three positions.

The first thing was get it to the end zone; let's get the game going. I was trying to get it to 14-10.
