This is a youthful Lions team. They added a veteran recently, and he made an impact on Sunday in New Orleans.
After the Detroit victory, Irvin gave PFT a call.
Irvin remarked, “This morning when I woke up, I felt like a kid before Christmas.” “I was ecstatic. I’m just attempting to make the most of this chance, as there aren’t many opportunities in this area of my job. I’m just glad to be back, guy, and to be working as a team once more.
Irvin had only worn pads three times since the Seahawks’ postseason loss to the 49ers in January. That was on Sunday. Still, he wasn’t taken aback by his performance against the Saints.
“This stuff is like riding a bike at this point in my career,” Irvin remarked. “I’ve done this for a very long time. It will reappear. All I can say is that I’m relieved they didn’t try to push me out of there the moment I arrived. They allowed me some time to acclimate and get into football shape. You know, that was evident today.
Irvin’s efforts were aided by some inside knowledge from his time spent with Oakland, the quarterback for the Oakland Raiders at the time.
Irvin remarked, “I know when you get around him, he gets rattled. I played with him in Oakland.” “We knew we could rattle him a little bit if we got around him, but he is a hell of a player.”
