appreciate came hard journey lean position tough
We were able to lean on each other through the tough times, and that's what makes me appreciate the position I'm in now. I know where I came from, and I know how hard the journey was for me to get here. So I really try to appreciate everything I get.
believe favorite truly wrote
We don't believe that we're America's favorite team. Now we are? Now you're going to tell us that after you all wrote us off for dead? Why should we believe you now? I've still got all the articles. So there's no way I can believe you now that you're truly with us.
best chip football shoulder ticked
When we play with a chip on our shoulder and play mad, that's when we play our best football. We play our best football when we're ticked off.
came coach money pleasure shocked tells turned
He shocked everybody. He told us he came here because it would be a pleasure to coach us. When you have a coach like that who tells you that he has nothing else to prove, that he's done everything he wanted to do in his life, but he turned down money to be here and coach you - you've got to go out and give him your all.
afraid tight
He's a tight end. I have never, ever, ever been afraid of a tight end.
definitely good great himself left looking played player year
He does a lot of good things. I've just got to try and do what I've been doing all year so I can get a win. I'll be looking at more tape. I want to get some more feelers on him. I thought he was a great player when I played him (in 2003). He definitely has put himself up there as one of the better left tackles in the game.
good
He does a lot of good things. I've just got to get an edge.
bowl league name pro seven six speaks talking three
I don't have to make a name for myself by talking on the microphone. I made a name for myself when I go out there and play football. I feel like what I've done in this league speaks for itself. I started six out of the seven years I've been here. I went to the Pro Bowl three out of the seven. If they don't know who I am now, they are never going to know me anyway.
parade plan
I have my parade in my head, how I would plan it. But I can't tell you. It's a secret.
soft somebody
I would think somebody would say that, but I wouldn't think he would say that. He's too soft to say something like that.
forward looking opportunity ready soft somebody words
I would think somebody would say it, but I wouldn't think he would say it. He's too soft to say something like that. He's going to have an opportunity to back up his words and I'm going to have an opportunity to back up my words. It's something I'm looking forward to. I'm ready to get it on.
everybody game indy loves win
I know they wanted Indy to win the game and everybody in the world loves Peyton Manning, but come on, don't try to take the game away from us. That's just not right.
fire matter sit talking
If he had said something about my kicker, I'm going to fire back. It doesn't matter who you are talking back. I'm not the kind of person who is going to sit there and let you talk about my teammates.
high knows likes player
I do what I have do to get myself going and he likes to see me going. He knows once I get going, he knows what kind of player he's going to get. That's going to make me play at a high level.
