business happy left move played seven time understand year
It was a business decision, you know, ... I still had one year left on my deal. When you get so many years in the league, you understand it's a business. They made a business decision. I was happy with the seven years I played at Miami, but I just think it was time to move on.
best city grow hoping imagine knowing people perspective seeing
It was tough. You've got to put things in perspective. When it comes to things like that, football's secondary. To see all those people and what they were going through, I couldn't even imagine being in those peoples' shoes. It was real tough, seeing the city you grow up in, your whole life, not knowing if you'll ever be able to go back there. I'm just hoping the best for everybody.
against attention ball competition garner gets goes great guy guys humble job looking played respect score top trying twice year
Probably Marvin Harrison. I played against him twice a year when (the Colts) were in our division, and the guy doesn't say a word. He just goes out there and gets the job done each and every year. He's not looking for the attention some of the other receivers are looking for. That's how you garner respect around the league: by being a humble person and not trying to humiliate guys. There's competition out there, and guys are working their tails off. So when you score a touchdown give the ball back to the ref. On top of that he's a great player.

ball lost
I couldn't really find the ball. I lost the ball in the lights.
But don't forget, ... they have a lot of weapons.
ability bring good last numbers opportunity playing traded
Obviously, the numbers were down last year. When I got traded here, I just thought it was an opportunity to bring some leadership, to bring some playmaking ability to the defense. We're playing pretty good right now, but we have a long way to go.
bit extra football found guys job playing since tonight
We had a job to do. Hey, it's a football game. We've been playing this since we were 8. It's really simple. Tonight guys found that extra bit of energy.
defense good redeem tired week
We were tired of being told that the defense isn't any good. That we don't have any good players. That we can't tackle. As a professional, it's week to week. You have another week to redeem yourself.
both game great guys hurt key stopping
Both those guys are great backs, and they can do different things. We're going to have to be on our P's and Q's because both those guys can hurt us at any time. That's the key to the game -- stopping those guys.
