feeling matter mind nobody player stop zone
Right now, he has it in his mind that nobody is going to stop him, no matter what. When a player is in that zone and he's feeling like that, there's really little that you can do.
against basically brings city coaches guys less media players road travel york
I think when we go on the road, it's just us against the whole city. You go to a city like New York and Chicago, where we only travel with 46 players and the coaches and the media guys through the organization, less than 100 people. It's us against the whole people, basically ... so I think we see the challenge. I think it brings us tighter when we're on the road because we know we're all we have in that city at that time.
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.
thinking player want
I want to maximize my potential as a player. I want to be as good as I could possibly be. And if I do that, I think I could be one of the best players out there.
player want next
I want to be my own player. I want to be Julius Peppers. I don't want to be the next Lawrence Taylor. I don't want to have to live with his legacy.
carrying high improve matter mind nobody seen stop
I've seen him improve over the years, but I've never seen him play at this high of a level. He has us on his back, and he's carrying us. Right now, he has it in his mind that nobody is going to stop him, no matter what.
guys numbers spots
There's only two spots for All-Pro and there are guys out there that had numbers better than mine.
care clue less people talking
People think they really know, but they really don't have a clue what they're talking about, ... I could really care less about who's complaining about me not having sacks.
ball brady great hurry job throw
Brady does a great job of getting the ball out of there in a hurry and that is frustrating. But we have a lot of different things that we can do with blitzes. By Sunday, we will have something to throw them off.
everybody goes hurt knows lose people ready somebody team
We've got people to come in when somebody goes down. Everybody on this team knows that they're one play away from someone getting hurt and having to come on to the field. If we lose one player, we should have someone else come in and be ready to go.
chicago defense great performance
That was a great performance by our offense. Who would have thought the vaunted Chicago defense would give up 29 points?
best game last pick season since slow start week year
I think since the first game I've been getting better, ... I think last week was my best game. I get better as the season goes. It's like that every year - I have a slow start and then pick it up.
call few guess instant knee knew looked personal referee replay rule saw
I thought it was a fumble, but that's just my personal opinion. The call from the referee was his knee was down. So I guess that was the right call. They got instant replay and looked at it a few times, so evidently they saw something that I didn't see or they knew a rule that I don't know. I thought it was a fumble, but again, that's just my personal opinion.
doubt
Well, right now I don't have any doubt I'll play.
