“There’s something to that,” Adams said Wednesday, when asked whether big hits in Week 1 are a good way to begin the season. “I don’t know if I’ll get hit harder than that this year, hopefully not (laugh). To set the tone like that on the first one and be able to pop up. I never want to get hit like that, but anytime you can get hit that way, still hold onto the ball, convert on third down and it’s demoralizing to the defense. They want to get up and celebrate, but then when the dude pops right up like that, it can take the wind out of their sail a little bit. I hope it doesn’t happen again, but anytime you can get one of those out the way you get up and you’re fine, it’s alright.”
