I've got enough yards to last me a lifetime. Right now, it's just about doing whatever I can to help this team win. I'm just going to finish strong.
game perfect tough
They've put it together, ... They're on a roll. They're tough to stop. We just have to play a perfect game and see what happens.
blew eruption guys ready telling time top volcano waiting work
I know you guys are waiting for this big eruption and it's not going to happen. I'm telling you. That volcano done blew its top a long time ago. It's done. It's done. I'm calm. I'm just ready to work this week.
area handle playing prepared takes teams tough work
I just can handle (difficult times). I've been there before. I know what it takes and I'm prepared to get it going. I'm battle-tested in that area so it's not frustrating at all. It is what it is. I just have to work through it. I don't see no difference, but we're playing some tough teams and we have to find a way to get it done, no excuses.
browns cleveland staying taking turns
I'm where I wanted to be. Not taking anything away from the Cleveland Browns ... but I'm a Bengal, and I like staying in Cincinnati. It turns out that I got my wish.
bowls carry pressure super trying weight winning
They were winning Super Bowls without me, ... There's no pressure on me to come in and have the weight of trying to carry the load.
almost burnt coffee hot leg maybe threw
They almost burnt me with a Marlboro or something. They threw hot coffee on my leg. Or maybe it was hot chocolate. It was hot, though. It burnt my leg a little bit. It's not a big issue.
great looked loss miss super watching win
It would be a great loss for the league. I'm going to miss him. I looked up to him, watching him win Super Bowls.
defining football miss mode says stock
Oh, I don't know. We'll see. I don't want to put any stock in that. I can't put stock in that yet. ... If he doesn't do it the right way, and that's going to be the defining mode of this football team, we won't miss a beat. He says the right things to me, but I see better than I hear.
last
I don't feel too bad. I don't know what that amounts to, but I do feel better than I did last year.
days frustrated situations tested work
My frustrated days are over. I'm too old to be frustrated, ... All I can do is work to get better. I think I've been tested for situations like this. I'm not going to say it's not a concern, but it's not the end of the world. I know it's going to get better.
doubt last learning year
No doubt I'm more comfortable. Last year I was kind of learning on the fly; this year I have a better sense of what to do and what not to do.
came cry doubt felt final football games hit knew since time win
No doubt about it, this is what I came here for. I knew we were going to win a lot of football games this year. I thought I would cry (after the final gun), but I don't know how to act. It really hasn't hit me yet. It's been a long time since I felt like this.
ready
I feel good. I'm healthy. I'm ready to go.
