"I have to control my emotions and body language better than I did on Sunday," Green said. "You just have to take a deep breath, relax and let the game come to you. I was pressing. Just go out there and continue to have fun."
DECKER'S REALITY: Eric Decker says he has no regrets about starring in a reality TV show about the lead-up to his wedding last summer with country and pop singer Jessie James.
During the return, Lyons barreled into Dwight Stephenson, and the Dolphins center's knee was blown out. It ended the career of Stephenson,Cheap Adidas Hockey Jerseys, a former teammate of Lyons at the University of Alabama who was later inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
"If you said to yourself, 'If I could have one play back,' that would be the play I'd want back," said Lyons at a news conference in advance of being inducted into the Jets' Ring of Honor on Oct. 13. "Not to say that I wouldn't take the same hit because I didn't feel like it was a cheap shot. It was away from the ball, it was high, it was in the shoulder pads. I just wish the results were different."
Lyons made his peace with Stephenson years ago, and the former Dolphins star doesn't blame him for his career being shortened.
"The cameras are already going to be on me no matter what, and my body language — when there's a bad throw, not showing Andy up or the offense up," Green said.
The more they missed, the worse it got.
"I think the only thing that I regret," Lyons said, "was back in 1987."
There was a good reason for the frustration. Andy Dalton tried to get him the ball 15 times out of his 42 passes, but cornerback Joe Haden didn't let him get free. Green had seven catches for 51 yards, his longest 16 yards. The Bengals (2-2) tried to get him the ball deep, but Dalton misfired and the coverage was good.
Decker, second in the league last year with 13 TD catches, said he enjoyed watching the first show, but is all business right now.
Three others made the conference championship game after a 1-3 start: Jacksonville in 1996, losing to New England; Tennessee in 2002, losing to Oakland; and San Diego in 2007,Cheap MLB Gear, losing to the Patriots.

It was a Monday night game against Miami and the Dolphins were leading 37-21 midway through the fourth quarter. Troy Stradford fumbled and Jets defensive back Bobby Jackson recovered and took off for the end zone.
"That's not me," Green said. "I watched the game film and my arms are flailing and all loose and that's not me. That's not the way I act."
"Eric & Jessie: Game On" debuted Sunday night on the E network.
He also said there weren't any moments where he cringed, insisting,Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys, "I wouldn't put myself in a situation I wasn't comfortable with. That's who I am. People take it for what it is, but again, I'm just trying to be myself and I had a lot of fun with it."
The worst injury Marty Lyons ever was involved in was the one he caused another player.
"I live with it every single day and every time I see him, but there's nothing I can do."
"I see Dwight all the time," Lyons said, fighting back tears. "We're good friends and every now and then when you go down to Miami or you go back to the University of Alabama, it flares its head. People will never let me forget that, but I also have to tell those people that won't let me forget it: I don't need them to remind me.
"I cleared my conscience when I sat down and talked to Dwight," Lyons said. "He said, 'Hey, it was a clean hit. You don't have to worry about it. It's part of the game.'"
The defensive tackle, a member of the New York Jets' famed "Sack Exchange" in the 1980s, was known for playing through all kinds of ailments during his 11 NFL seasons from 1979-89. He took the field at times with a cast on his arm, pins in his thumb, a double harness on both shoulders and a torn hamstring that was taped up from the middle of his back down to his heel.
DON'T FRET: For fans of the Redskins and Vikings, Falcons and Rams, it's not time to give up.
Even 26 years later, Lyons hears from angry Dolphins fans who remind him of that play. |
