Donald Driver spoke to reporters today after practice and had some interesting things to say. He spoke of team chemistry and learning the new play terminology and having vets in the huddle blah, blah blah. He was asked about the first time he came out of the tunnel for his first scrimmage with 65K fans and said he still gets excited after seven years.
“I'm still amazed even when you don't have that winning season, they don't leave (the fans) and that's the thing that a lot of teams have. When they're losing a game most (fans) get up and leave. That's what I respect about our fans a lot. Regardless of whether we're losing or winning, they stay for the whole game. There's always a comeback time.â€ÂÂ
As an older vet he says, “I always feel like I've got to increase, you know everyone says when you get older, you go down. It seems like when I get older, I go up. I'm gonna hope that continues.â€ÂÂ
Driver has just received a large new contract but doesn't feel any extra pressure to perform because of it. “Money doesn't bother me.†says Driver, “I look at myself as the same guy. I haven't changed and I won't change. I just go out there and play football.â€ÂÂ
(The last guy to say something like that got called uncoachable. :wink: )
