days definitely few football knew realize team
We just need to get away from football for a few days and realize what we've got here. The thing is, it's going to take some time. We've got a whole new team here when you think about it. We definitely didn't want to be 1-3, but we knew it was going to take some time.
changes contract cut discussion enjoying expect field guarantees helped hit pay plan prepare present ran ready realize therefore traded wherever year
With all the discussion about me being traded or cut has helped me realize that the contract I have ran out of guarantees the day I was injured. Therefore each year they pay you to play is a gift. I expect that if there are no changes to my present contract, then I should prepare for a year-by-year commitment. When I am ready to hit the field this year, wherever it may be, I plan on being better than ever and enjoying the ride.

Without admitting to the ridiculous allegations, I do apologize for any embarrassment that this situation has caused the community, the organization and especially my family. I can handle the personal accusations because I know the truth. I expect the legal process to clear my name so that I can move on.
We just weren't on the same page. Things like that, it's not us; it's not Viking football.

Without the turnover it would have been perfect. One thing I'm really excited about that we did, is we came back the next drive and put seven on the board. We're really happy about that for the first offense.

Now that I have confirmed that the Vikings have been seeking to trade me, I have asked for permission to speak to the interested teams. The Vikings have denied my request. If a trade does not happen, then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible.

You get frustrated when you don't win and when you're not successful. You have to keep battling. You don't give up. You don't start second guessing yourself.

Nobody who was shooting dice wanted to get a dance.

UCF stayed with me all the way, so I felt I should stay with them.
real player steps
Anybody can be good when things are going good, but a real player steps up when things are going bad.
black mold chance
You have to have quarterbacks who can keep up with everybody else. And I'm not saying that just black quarterbacks can do that, but more black quarterbacks are given a chance because they fit the mold.
