In life, and in sports, we all know that nothing lasts forever.
I've been a Colt for almost all of my adult life, but I guess in life, and in sports, we all know nothing lasts forever. Times change, circumstances change, and that's the reality of playing in the NFL.
Some guys need to see things on a grease board, ... I like when you can see it in your mind. And that's what Marvin does, too. He visualizes. He sees things in his mind so well.
If your team is going to win, you need to play better than the other quarterback.
If teams keep playing us this way, it's going to be like this.
In life and in sports we know that nothing lasts forever. The same year the greatest physical gift (football) the Lord gave me was taken away from me, I was blessed with the greatest gift any of us could have in two beautiful children. I’d take that trade every day of the week.
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.
My dad told us up front, 'Guys, if you want to play sports, go ahead, but it's your decision.
I never left the field saying I could have done more to get ready and that gives me piece of mind.
We stuck to our plan and it worked. We just had to keep plugging and plugging, and we got into a little groove in the second half.
Players were surprised and upset emotionally about it. Everybody said a team prayer for coach Dungy and his family.
I was happy we were able to get a little rhythm going there in the first half. We had a good mix of the run and the pass and the play-action. We had some good drives.
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.
I think sometimes guys coming from college think if you lose one game you're out of the mix, but if you lose two or three or four in the NFL, you'll still be OK, ... It's not really that way anymore.
