bad fairly happened hurt opportunity sitting special
It was one of those things that happened, and it happened the way it happened, and you can't go back on it, ... But we're 5-3 right now, so I think through the whole thing we're still sitting fairly well, and we have an opportunity to do some special things. So it didn't hurt us too bad if it was a distraction, hopefully.
anyone bad besides capable continue given playing redskins rid
It's not a given that I'll continue playing if the Redskins get rid of me. I don't really want to play for anyone else. I don't feel bad about it. I've had my time. I'm capable of doing other things besides football.
continue given playing redskins rid
It's not a given that I'll continue playing if the Redskins get rid of me.
family great
It's going to be great to play in an organization where there are no big egos, where there's a real family feeling.
abruptly ahead focal guys hard leader nice opportunity people point pressure type
It's hard being a leader for so long, being a focal point for so long, and then it kind of abruptly stops. It's nice to be back in the mix. It's also nice not to have 'THE PLAYER' pressure on me anymore. It's on other guys this year. It's going to give me an opportunity to go ahead and play and let the other people have that type of attention.
abruptly focal guys hard leader nice opportunity people point possibly pressure
It's hard being a leader for so long and being a focal point for so long, ... and then it kind of abruptly stops. It's nice to be back in the mix, and it's also nice not to have 'The Player' pressure on me anymore. It's on other guys this year, so it's going to give me an opportunity possibly to just go out here and play and let the other people have that kind of attention.
ahead biggest dallas far week
We still play Dallas here, but the biggest thing we have to do is take it week to week and not get too far ahead of ourselves,
best gets maybe opportunity playing side stuff style
Where all that stuff gets started, I have no idea. Maybe it's because of the style of play where, even if I'm on one side of the field, if I have an opportunity I'm going to try to make the play on the other side. I just know I'm going 100% and playing the best I can.
against amongst beat change close game indeed measures necessary perception plays realize rep since start steps taking team together until win
That's what we've been doing since I've been here. It's always close, but not close enough. Until all of us as a whole come together and realize that we can indeed win and start taking the necessary steps and measures to do that, then that'll be what we are: The team that plays hard, and you're going to have to play your tails off to beat them, but some way, somehow, we'll win the game against them. And I think that's kind of like our rep right now, and we have to do everything we can to change that perception of us. And more importantly, we have to change it amongst ourselves.
biggest care eyes happy hitting painful red trying watching
You see it in my eyes? Red eyes? ... I was trying to get it done, man. I didn't care who was hitting me, what was happening. Fearless. I was just happy to be out there with the fellows. That was my biggest thing. It was just painful watching them out there fighting.
eyes red trying
You see it in my eyes? Red eyes? ... I was trying to get it done, man.
admit faster hate point realizing seeing start studying
The more I'm studying film, the better I'm getting, the faster I'm getting. As much as I would hate to admit that, I'm kind of seeing the differences. I'm realizing you get to a point of health, but then there's a point where you start getting back to who you are.
constantly fail figure guys hunt realize trying
I think what you guys fail to realize is I do hunt for minds. So I'm constantly trying to figure out who you are, what you're about.
head might mine rolling saw wish
I saw so many 56 jerseys in the stands. I was like, 'Man, I wish there was one on the field.' When I see all those jerseys and mine is one, I might have to put my head up and keep them (the tears) from rolling down. I might get a little emotional. It's been a long road.
