change changed instrument
I stand before you a changed man. Use me as an example of an instrument of change.
cheer fans
I wanted to give the fans something to cheer about. Just wanted to get the jitters out, and I didn't want to shortchange the fans or myself.
emotions kid move time
Sometimes your emotions just take over. I know Marcus. He's not the kind of kid that's going to do something like that on purpose. That's just something he's got to live with, and now it's just time to move on.
bad guys selfish wrong
Sometimes being selfish is not a bad thing. Some guys just want the ball. They feel like they can make a difference. There is nothing wrong in that.

So what? As long as I continue to make plays and win football games, that's all they're going to remember. That's all I care about.

He always calls me, checking on me, making sure everything is going right with me. Friends need friends like that on your team, and it's special to have a guy like that.
expected expecting games goals last looks nine pace room year
The last two years, sometimes it's been a little difficult, ... Last year I started out in a new offense, so I kind of expected things not to go as well, but this year I was expecting a lot on myself, and it looks like I'm not on pace to do what I set my goals at. We've got nine games left, and there's still room for improvement.
chance cold game prepared win year
It was minus-10 degrees. That's tough. We weren't prepared for that. We didn't play a game all year in the cold weather. I'm not making any excuses. We still had a chance to win the game. But it was tough.
ball capitalize game guys involved
I've just got to get the ball to guys and get them involved in the game and capitalize on our opportunities, and I know we will do that,
good hopefully hurt percent sit team
I've got to feel good and know that I can give the team 100 percent effort, ... I can't sit here and say I can go out there at 85 percent if that 85 percent is going to hurt the team. Hopefully I will feel good enough. I'm going to try and give it a shot.
moving east west-coast
In any offense you put me in, when things break down, I'm going to get outside the pocket and move ... West Coast, East Coast. It doesn't matter. I'm taking off if I have to, to make things happen.
legs arms
I trust my arm as much as I trust my legs.
mean people prison
I mean, I was just one of the ones who got exposed, and because of the position I was in, where I was in my life, it went mainstream. A lot of people got out of it after my situation, not because I went to prison but because it was sad for them to see me go through something that was so pointless, that could have been avoided.
prison problem wanted
During my time in prison, I told myself that I wanted to be a part of the solution and not the problem.
