The worst part of this whole situation is people start trying to tag you for your character,
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.
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.
achieve bit building certain challenge front handled neither nor prima rather tail toward trying work
I could have handled things a little bit better in certain instances, but that's neither here nor there. We're where we're at. We've just got to keep building toward something. And me, if this is the challenge in front of me, that I've got to try and work my way back through the ranks, then rather than trying to be a prima donna and say 'I am who I am, you should give me an opportunity,' I'd rather just work my tail off to try and achieve that.

I just want to get my feet wet, ... Whatever happens is going to happen. That's how I look at it. I want to go out there and play the smartest, best game I can play. I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself. I want to make sure I'm still able to laugh at myself if I do something good or something bad.

I've slowed everything down, ... I slowed how I view things. I slowed how I react to things. Not just in football, but in life. I used to create something in my mind and make myself go 100 miles an hour towards whatever that was.
dictate game help mean opportunity pace time
It would mean a whole lot, ... to have an opportunity to try and help dictate the pace of a game from the time it starts.

See that right there from Marcus? That was my worst wound of the night, and it came From Marcus. We jumped into one another, and Marcus' braces caught in my arm.

That was pretty cool, huh? ... I was thinking, 'Wow, I'm really in here.' It was a great deal. Man, I had an opportunity to be a part of what I've been a part of for so many years. It was nice getting back out there on a regular basis.
biggest bottom fit main matter people redskins six tired
That's been like the biggest misconception of who I am. People think I'm selfish. They think I'm this and think I'm that, and that's not me. How about this: I just want to see the Redskins win, dog. That's the bottom line, and we'll go from there. That's my main focus. No matter where I fit into all of this, I just want to see us win. I've been here six seasons, and I'm tired of losing.
came direction gotten maybe rookie
I wasn't one of their guys, and maybe that was the direction they wanted to go in. I've gotten older. I'm not just a young rookie who is as moldable. Maybe that's where the difficulties came in.
