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.
It's not easy to do morning TV. A lot of people think you just show up and be yourself, but one of the hardest things to do is be yourself when the camera comes on.
When you're older, it's harder to stay in this game and play at a Pro Bowl level. I definitely feel it was one of my better years, if not the best. Experience definitely helps, realizing you don't have to rely so much on bulk, mass and strength. You can rely on what you've learned over the years and you can be just as effective.
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.

Sometimes, the better the competition, the better you play,
Everyone talks about who is the best receiver in the game. In my opinion, when you go back and look at numbers, (Holt) probably is the best receiver in the game.
As the game gets bigger for the fans it gets bigger for the players.
At some point, we have to make plays. We can't just leave it up to the offense to win it for us at the end.
To be honest, that's the last body part I'm concerned about because it doesn't bother me in the least. There's no residual effect at all. Look, I'm here to play and if I go out there and something else gets hurt, that's part of football.
We'd stopped them a couple of times to help us get back in the game, but we come out in the second half and can't get the job done. That's very frustrating.
