I am a little older and understand the nature of the business - the older you get the more your skills supposedly diminish, but I think I am getting wiser in how to use my physical skills. That's the frustrating part when you put so much heart and desire into things and feel like you are not wanted.
If you're asking me where my heart and where I'm happy is, I love playing with Tom Brady. I love being coached by Bill Belichick.
My concentration and focus level tends to go down sometimes when I'm in a bad mood.
I'm just enjoying the ride. I'm just contributing what I can.
The New England Patriots have always been a special organization and I've always watched from afar.
I'm one of the most competitive guys in the NFL. Believe me, nobody wants it more than me.
What I have done in my nine year career was just a glimpse of what I can do.
Everybody knows I got a temper. It's not a temper temper-not an off-the-field temper. It's a competitive temper, wanting to do good. But as far as being a guy who disrupts a lot of things, who doesn't want to listen? Nah, man. That's false. That's false because I'm excelling.
I'm starting to realize I can't practice a certain way during the week and expect to play another way on Sunday.
I'm still overwhelmed and, at the same time, kind of star struck that I am part of this New England Patriots organization.
In a way, I am what they say I am. I am a hard-ass. I'm hard to get along with. Most of the time I'm moody. All that's true. I got no problem with people saying that.
If it's early in the game and the team's not doing well, I get frustrated when I don't get the ball, because I think I can spark the team and get the crowd into it.
I'm from West Virginia. If you didn't know what was happening in NASCAR, you were on the outside. NASCAR is a big league sport, but it's still also country and redneck.
I love the game so much. I've been penalized. I've been fined. I have some regrets in my career. But for those four hours on Sunday, you can be free and just let it all go. Retiring had nothing to do with football; it had to do with my family.
