blessed player thinking
I've been blessed with some luck, great ability and athleticism. That's really what's made me a great player, but I think the reason I've been able to last this long is the little things like taking care of my body.
responsibility player thinking
I think as a veteran player, in general, you should feel that sense of responsibility to try to lead these guys to becoming good pros. You want the league to be in good hands, and you want these guys to become great NFL players and then pass it along to the next generation. You can only lead by example, and that's pretty much what I'm trying to do.
concerned great help missed players shows sitting team
(The streak) is important and it shows accountability but at the same time, I'm not really concerned with it. There's a lot of great players that have missed a lot of games, so I'm not concerned with that. It's just (that) I want to be out there to help my team win, and I know I can't do anything sitting on the sidelines.
played players toughest
He's one of the toughest players I've ever played with.
ahead create definitely lose stay
There are a lot of things at stake. They're undefeated. If we lose this game, we'll get behind, and that's something you don't want to create in your division. You definitely want to stay ahead of the game.
chance definitely feels game good home stay worry
When you get a chance to play a game like this at home, you definitely want that opportunity. It feels good to be able to stay at home and not worry about travel.
football game messing thoughts win winning
We're not messing around. We want to win every game from here on out. We have to or else we go home. I'll tell you what, we do have our thoughts in the right place, though, and that's winning. We're a winning football team, that's what we do.
care far good nobody remembers satisfied super until win
We're going in the right direction, but I'm not satisfied until I get a ring. I don't care how far you get in the playoffs, nobody remembers you until you win the Super Bowl. Obviously, this is good up until this point, but I want things to be a lot better. I want that ring.
ball ground huge
You don't know how many times I look back and see the ball skipping on the ground because the quarterback is on his back. That makes a huge difference.
confuse hard
We try to confuse you as much as we can. I think it's hard for a quarterback.
front great half second
We've got a great defense, a great front seven. There's no way we shouldn't play the way we did in the second half every week.
ahead far
We don't want to get too far ahead of ourselves.
call defensive
I got off the ground, and then I see, defensive foul. I'm like, why did it take so long to call the foul? If you're questioning it so much, why call it?
best complete news tear
I don't know the complete diagnosis. I just know I didn't tear anything, and that was the best news possible.
