Kriegel says there's a reason it's all about Manning

The Jets, like the Saints, employed a "kill the quarterback" scheme, too. And how’d that work out? How exactly is New Orleans to succeed where everyone else has failed, not just this year, but also going back a long, long while. In Manning’s recollection, the last time he was knocked out of a game was once upon a time against the Dolphins, who broke his jaw.

“Dude,” Adam Meadows, his right tackle, said as he came to his feet. “You just don’t look right. Your mouth doesn’t look right.”

“What do you mean?” Manning asked.

“You better come out.”

In retrospect, Manning said the other day, “I’m kind of mad that I even listened to him. But I went out of the game for one play and the backup quarterback came in and we bumbled the handoff and the Dolphins got it and we went on to lose the game. So I have kind of held it against myself since then for coming out for that one play.”
