I just feel like I`m a big piece of the puzzle, ... We`re just going to have to go out there and continue to do the things we`ve been doing.
I`m pretty much doing the same things I`ve been doing. Not much on the field has changed now that Randy is gone.
I was surprised, but we didn`t really struggle because we moved the ball. It`s just that at the end of every drive, we made a physical error, and you really can`t battle back from those, especially against a very good defense.
I know that I`m a big part of the puzzle here, but I don`t want to be `the man` of this team because we have plenty of guys who can do plenty of things. A lot of people make a big deal about being labeled the No. 1 receiver in this offense. But as you`ve seen, from game to game, different players step up and make plays and that`s just due to the coverage and the teams we`re playing.
I had a great opportunity in summer league, ... It was a great experience for me. I got a lot of time, and the guys I played with were great.
I was very happy to see Randy get in the end zone. That`s what he does. He`s one of the biggest threats in the game right now, and I know he`s going to continue to do well all season.
Me and Daunte have to be on the same page, ... I have to bring the route in a little bit faster and get in front of the DB. We started out on a bad note.
It was good to see him go out there and do the things he has been doing. He was wearing No. 18, but he`s still No. 84 to me. I`m just glad he`s playing well out there.
It wasn`t Daunte. The receivers have to run good routes and give him clear throwing lanes.
We have to do our job as a team. The receivers have to be on the same page. The receivers, the offensive line, everybody has to make plays for him. He can`t have all of the mistakes on his shoulders. We win together and we lose together, so we all have to improve for him.
