I just looked at the tape and they kept the tight end in and they chip-blocked and all of that. But they can say whatever they want to say - we will see them again.

stars player trying
It's not important for me to be a star, but it is important for me to be one of the better players. I won't feel comfortable with not living up to my potential. I don't want to be spoken of as the player who had potential who never reached it, so I am going to work extra hard to try to be the best I can be.
