Guys are just thoroughly enjoying playing for him right now. I think that's a testament that this is his team and we're here to do whatever we need to do to in. His focus isn't to make things hard on us, his focus is to make sure we're prepared to win football games.
We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football is football. That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend. We're not going out there to put on a show and let these guys win the game.
We've been doing some things well, but we know we have to work on some things. We can be a very good football team. We can do some things in the playoffs, but we're going to have to play better.
It's scary. I've never seen anyone who's so quick, and fast, and powerful, and is such a smart football player. In my opinion, and I know he's gotten a lot of accolades, but he's probably the best all-around football player in the league.
There are similarities. There is loss, there is tragedy. Still guys have to be able to focus. Football is football.
My ultimate goal is for that next generation coming up, who didn't see me play, go, 'Oh, he used to play football?'
We're sympathetic, but once you step on the field, football's football.
When I finish playing football, I would like to work with kids and sleep!
That's one of the great things about Thanksgiving: Football's on!
I started working out with my father the summer I was 13, which was incredible for our relationship. Those were my summers: working out with my dad, hanging out with my brothers, riding my bike. Pretty simple.
Is it possible to respect someone and hate their guts? ... It is? Then, we've accepted it.
Feely, he's crazy. He thinks he's a big guy. He thinks he's tough. We gotta keep reminding him he's a kicker.
Even though the weight I'm lifting isn't what it was when I was playing, it's not like I'm not lifting weights that are heavier than the common person would lift. I think a lot of people look at that and say, 'Whoa!'
Even though I'm not with their mother, it's important for my kids to see adults in a committed and happy relationship. They need to see a strong relationship. You don't have to settle.
