challenge game orleans plan sitting
I find myself going between the game plan and what's going on down in New Orleans while sitting in meetings, ... I'll see what kind of challenge it's going to be. I've never had a distraction like that.

You have to understand that although it's a game and it's my career and it's my life and it provides a living for me and my family, it's a business to the people who own it.

This is a business and you've got to understand that. I always speak in business terms in this game and I learned that when I was young.
deserves game gives honest opportunity personal steven understand winning work
I think that in a sense you just have to be honest with yourself and what you can and can't do and understand what you want to get out of this game and what you want to do. And I want to win. My personal accomplishments aren't as important to me; winning is. I think the combination of myself and Steven gives us, as a team, a better opportunity to win. With the work that he's going to put in, he deserves to be the starter.
team games issues
When things are not going right, where are the leaders to pull this team together? That leadership sometimes, you just can’t find it. If one of your leaders is the guy who throws five interceptions [in one game], you have an issue.

If [the Packers] can protect Aaron Rodgers and allow him to throw the ball down the field this game will not even be a contest. But if they do not, and Minnesota can come in here and run the football, we are going to have ourselves a good game tonight.

Certain guys are like relief pitchers; they come off the bench, they don’t know when they’re playing – you come in and you just go. Certain guys, they like to start; they like to start the game and play. I believe Kirk Cousins is a reliever. I don’t know if he’s a starter.

football heads home kids player run sit takes talk work
Is it hard? It's hard. I mean, it's not easy. There's some work that's involved. But it's just like everything else -- you work for it, you get it. And if you sit down and you talk about it and you make it like, 'Oh, it was rough. It was tough.' There are kids at home scratching their heads like, 'Oh, boy, I don't have what it takes to make it because I can't run the football like he does.' That has nothing to do with it. When I talk to kids, I let them know it's not about that. You can do it. You don't have to be a football player to do it.

excited extra kept past pushing season special sure worked year
I was probably being a little paranoid, ... In past years I would've worked through something like that and kept right on pushing ahead. But I'm just so excited about this season -- I just want everything to be perfect, because I think it can be a special year for us -- and I want to make extra sure that nothing slows me down.
dictate doubt hear personnel step weird
Without a doubt. It's just weird when you hear the ones called out and I still take that step to go because it's always been like that for me. Now I have to hear formations and personnel that dictate when I'm in the game. But it's fine. It's a process.
