I didn't want to go headfirst because I'm thinking, if he goes feet-first, then I get spiked. I guess he wasn't really thinking about that too much because he went in headfirst. I thought I might have broken his arm or something at first, but he was OK.

That's about as bad as it gets. Those are the last two guys in the world you'd want to face with a guy at third and less than two out. If you're able to get out of it, you thank your stars, because they're going to drive the guy in nine times out of 10.

I was just trying to cut him off. I didn't want to go head first because if he goes feet first, I get spiked or cleated in the head. I thought I broke his arm at first. I'm glad he's OK. I felt bad for him. I cleated him pretty good.
