Willie Roaf Quotations

Now we can go home, relax and watch a bunch of college games and NFL games this weekend.

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.

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.

It would be great for me to be a part of Larry Johnson rushing for 2,000 yards, at this time in my career. That's something I never imagined being a part of, and that would be exciting.

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

Detroit needs to go sign Barry Sanders for just one more week. It's going to be tough.

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

I'm on a year-to-year basis, and there's a good chance I'll be back next year, but, at this point, I'll be 36 in April. If I'm productive and I stay healthy, I'll go in and see how I feel. I had the hamstring problem early this season, and that bothered me. The last six, seven weeks I've played pretty good football. We've taken the pads off, so that helps me a little bit. It's kind of hard for me to hit a little.

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.

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.

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.
