I didn’t get my interview with Marcus Coker on camera.

He slumped on a wall in the postgame area with his head down, making no eye contact with anyone. He didn’t raise his head up answering questions.

The toll of 281 carries is evident on his body.

“100 percent,” Coker said when I asked what percentage he’d put on his health.

You’re not 100 percent.

“I’m still sticking with 100.”

How about mentally.

“We played hard . . .”

The 281 carries were doing the talking at this point.
