"That sucks, haha. I have had the chance to play with Willy a couple of times with the national team over the years. He is a very good player and has been since he came into the league.

The special teams have continued to build as time has gone on. As a group, we have found different ways to win games. Even in the games that haven't gone our way, they're fighting to the very end. That is where the credit needs to go to the players."
"There is a lot of collaboration with Kyle and a lot of conversations. It's a lot of working together to make sure we have an environment where everyone is growing a little bit each day and growing as a collective group. Because we have players who are future Hall-of-Famers - legends of the game - combined with guys who weren't even born when these guys were first playing in the league, and everything in between, it is about making sure that, while we are"
