Rashean Mathis Quotations

We've got a saying around here: 'Don't blink because you never know what's going to happen. We didn't blink, we stopped them and then a big play happened for us.

I think we showed we're one of the toughest teams in the league. This is huge. This is a statement game around the league about us.

I wasn't worried about anybody catching me from behind. I knew if I jumped it, the only person who had a chance to catch me was Maddox. I don't know what he runs in the 40, but I wasn't worried about it.

We ended up silencing the crowd and that's what you want to do in a big road game.

This was huge. There's a big difference between 3-2 and 2-3. It means a great deal.

They ran the same route from the same formation before, so I knew what I was getting.

They ran the same route and I was right. Same formation, same route. I got the same thing earlier in the game.

It wasn't something that was on my mind. I always figured that I need to come out and play football and whatever was going to happen, was going to happen.

I told (safety) Deon Grant, I was like, 'Listen, I'm gonna' jump it; I know the route,'

It means a lot to me that the organization has seen enough in me to trust me and know that I am a good guy, whether it's on or off the field. It shows a lot for the organization that they really take care of their guys. It will be great just being here and knowing that I'll be here for a couple more years and hopefully a couple more after that.

It means a lot. He's a leader on this team. Any time you have your leader back, it means a lot.

It's going to be a breakthrough year for this team. We're not just playing the games just to play. We're playing for the playoffs.

It's fun having somebody that talks, as long as it's respectful. It just brings the competition to a whole other level. He's very confident in himself, and he should be.

I told Deon Grant, 'Listen, I'm going to jump it. I know the route,' ... And I told my linebacker, 'If the running back runs a wheel route, just stay with him because I'm going to jump the route.' They ran the same route and I was right.

It was a play I got earlier in the game,

It was just football instincts and help from my other teammates. I told them I was going to do something and they had my back if I was wrong. We didn't blink, we stopped them and then a big play happened for us.

It's not always a bad thing. It elevates my game and it elevates his game.

If you check our record, we love the big stage. We're going to show up. They know that. They know that we're going to show up on their home turf. That what we live for. This team, we get up when the game is big.

I didn't hear him yell or anything, but I could tell he was hurt. I'm saying a prayer for him right now. He's a great athlete. You never want to see somebody get hurt. I hope he's OK.
