(Roman) is healthy and playing a lot faster and more aggressive than he was last year, ... I've had a chance to see the other young kid, Collins, a little bit. He looks like he's going to be a good player for them. He wears the same number as LeRoy Butler (No. 36) and is kind of similar to LeRoy as far as build.
Continuity is the best thing for our team to improve. We can win a championship with the staff and players we have here.
It doesn't mean that I have any ill will or any animosity toward Green Bay, because they allowed me to become the player that I am today and to have the career that I've had thus far.
When it comes to a game as big as a Super Bowl and plays can go either way, you never want to have that happen. But that's something that you have to live with, as a player or a coach, knowing that it is going to be weighed on a person's judgment. That's why they brought in replay, to try to take away some of the error in judgment by the referees. But you can't go back and fix everything. You really want to make more plays than the other team so you don't have to worry about the referees coming into play.
(Slowik) was a real good tactical, break-down-the-offense type of coach. We knew what to expect for games. He also was a good motivational coach. Overall, I feel he was a good coordinator for us. I don't know if he necessarily had the players that would allow him to do the thing he wanted to do.
We have to figure out how to blow teams out when we have them on the ropes.
It would be nice. I think if it came in a better season, it would be a little more enjoyable, but it would still be a nice personal accomplishment. Records are made to be broken, so we'll see.
It was tough for me to hold back some emotion when I saw it on the bottom of the screen. I talked to him, and he says he's going to come back stronger. That's the type of attitude that he has.
I've been shocked from the get-go with this team,
The whole season was emotionally trying. We went through so many ups and downs, on such a roller coaster. It was a season that had a lot of scenarios, good things and bad things. But the end result is we had a winning record, and that's a positive.
Randy is in his own league. But there are still a lot of good receivers in the division.
The toughest thing about being a defensive back in the NFL is you do your job, you don't get credit, but if you mess up one time, you can be the goat. I always try to play the same style of game no matter who I'm going up against.
The toughest for me to tackle? Barry Sanders. He was so elusive. And strong. And fast. And small.
I wasn't on the boat, ... so I don't have any comment.
