We have a high sense of urgency on this team. We realize with free agency and with injuries, the days of building and talking about playing for 2006 and 2007, that doesn't make sense anymore.
I think our team realizes what kind of team Seattle is. Certainly what they are playing for in getting ready for their playoff run. You know what type of effort you are going to get from them.
It truly has been an honor to play in Indianapolis. I do love it here. I love the fans, and I will always enjoy having played for such a great team.
It's almost like we were the first team ever to lose a playoff game,
It just shows you he's tuned in during the week of practice and he's into the game plan. He knows the plays and that's what you like.
Players were surprised and upset emotionally about it. Everybody said a team prayer for coach Dungy and his family.
I don't like to play favorites, and I do try to spread the ball around. But there's an old rule: You throw to the guys who get open in practice.
Im happy to volunteer for the American Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet. The Red Cross is an organization that responds to those in need and it is an honor to help them with the lifesaving role they play everyday in communities nationwide.
I feel one of the most significant honors a player can have in his sport is to have his number retired. Certainly for me to have that at Tennessee, it's with great pride.
I want to be out there every single snap, every single play.
You can play pickup basketball, but you can't really re-create football.
My dad told us up front, 'Guys, if you want to play sports, go ahead, but it's your decision.
Everyone should play like Adrian Peterson. This guy does everything full speed. Pro Bowl - promoting himself for MVP.
I don't want to retire. I still want to play.
