last starting
I'm starting over. I've never been in this position, so I'm just going to see what happens. I don't know where I'll be, but I do want to play football. This could be my last hurrah.
building guys love relationships start teammates whatever
I feel good. I'm 100 percent, whatever that means. I still love my teammates in Washington, but I want to start building relationships with the guys in New York.
brought leave might omen start whatever
That might be an omen that I need to leave whatever I brought from there and just start completely over.
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.
character people situation start tag trying worst
The worst part of this whole situation is people start trying to tag you for your character,
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.
bad close good morale
We're not a bad team. We're close to doing a lot of things. In fact, we have the makings of a very, very good team, but it hasn't materialized. Doing these things consistently can give us a big morale boost.
continue means might people relationship tail team work
This team means the world to me. People might think that our relationship is gone, but I think it means the world to me to be a part of this thing. That's why I continue to try and work my tail off to get back out there.
felt lost played season team
This season shouldn't be over. We shouldn't have lost that game. Take nothing away from the Seahawks; they played very well. But the way this team felt today, the way we feel right now, we don't feel like this season should be over.
bad couple good tried
I didn't get that many plays, ... but I tried to make the most of what I got. Made a couple good plays, a couple bad plays. It's getting there.
baby good growing plays possibly understand
Carlos has some swagger, ... He's going to do some good things. I've still got some of my swagger, but times have changed. I know what I have to do and I understand that for me to be able to do it as proficiently as I possibly can, I can't go out there and just be all emotional. I'm growing up. I'm married. There's a baby on the way. That all plays a part.
again anxiety bit highest
I have a little bit of anxiety. It's all new again. I've got to do it all over again at the highest level. It's going to be interesting.
fed hold support tired
I was tired at first. I had to hold my nerves. I had so much support from my teammates, and I kind of fed off of that.
attitude outside positive
I think I have a positive attitude because I kind of look at things outside the box,
