He’s shown that he can stay alive and that he can throw the ball a long ways ... You see him in a lot of situations where a lot of other quarterbacks will be sacked and he ends up coming out of it, and his receivers always run downfield. He plays a lot like Brett Favre. He’ll just throw the ball up and trust his receivers to go up and make plays. We just have to make sure that doesn’t happen. 
There's been nobody down here except when Brett Favre was reportedly coming here during the preseason ... We've just methodically gone about our business, just like Carolina, and racked up nine wins. Monday night, the eyes of the country get to see this division at its best.
the ticking bomb that is Brett Favre. It's going to go off -- in good ways and bad ways.
I don’t think their thinking that way. Right now we all respect Brett Favre and I’m a fan of Brett Favre, but I think right now we’re just thinking about doing our jobs and going out there and trying to make the best effort we can to get there, so we’ll see.
When Matt called me and was talking about hunting and told me that he lived an hour from here, don't think for a second I wasn't thinking, 'Now, surely he wants to know something,' ... Yeah, I played for the Packers for 16 years and we played against the Lions a bunch, but it's no secret what we did against them. I don't have a playbook from Green Bay. I didn't send the playbook. I didn't call him and say, 'Look, if you do this, you're going to win the game.' I didn't do that.
I stand by my story 1000 percent ... I guess Brett and I will just agree to disagree on certain things. The way I do my work, I don't go on what just one person told me. I investigated this fully and for quite some time. I spoke with several sources, and when I go with something, I make sure it's dead-on. I think my track record speaks for itself.
