basically happy job mean people saying
He didn't mean any disrespect. He was just basically saying he wasn't happy. Some people aren't happy with their job or their wife, they say it. That's all it was, him voicing his opinion. He has a right to do that.
running morning jobs
I've never stopped loving the game since day one. If it were a job to me it would be very hard for me to get up in the morning. And why leave something that you can never come back to? Realistically, whether you accept it or not, you only get one wave in this journey. Run at it as hard as you can.
football jobs who-i-am
You can talk about what you see from the outside; it's hard to tell me who I am when you're just looking at me with a football uniform on. That's a totally different person. That's my job, that's it.
running jobs men
Let me explain my job very simply: My job is to line up five, seven, 10 yards in front of a man and run into him at full speed.
jobs father athlete
I think the fans, if you want to actually learn about us, I think you have to go way more intricate than just what you see on TV, because that's whatever they want to report. But it's just so much going on, and when you talk about being in our world you have to understand we're individuals too. We're not just athletes. No, we're fathers, we're sons. So when you put us through a job shortage you take away everything that we built.

It's always tough, because then that's when you have to humble yourself and you've got to take coaching and you have to do whatever they tell you to do. Whether it takes away from your game or it helps your game, just deal with it. That's what I did. It didn't alter how I prepared, it didn't alter my passion for the game. But at the same time, it alters how dominant I can be in this game.
anybody hard home instead sitting week
That's big, to come out of here 1-1 instead of sitting home this week 0-2. That's hard. It's hard for anybody to come out of that hole.
deal defense fit fun letting package running
The scheme's got to fit your players. My thing is bashing running backs. That's what I want to get back to, just having fun and letting them deal with me. That's what the 46 package and the defense does.

looking position seeing
Probably what Jonathan's seeing that I'm seeing, now that I'm older, is that I can read the guards, read the tackles, read the backfield, ... As a young guy, that's probably what he's looking at, more of my position, how I'm always in position to strike.
blitz checks fans figure good great next pass stressful truly trying
Peyton comes to the line, and he checks to a pass or a run, and I come to the line, and I check from a blitz to a zone, ... I think it's great for the fans to see, but it's actually more stressful when you're on the field, because you're actually trying to figure out truly their next move. He's good at it.

One of the guys I've liked and kind of monitored since college is Jonathan Vilma, ... I love the way that guy plays football.

That's once again the same people who told me I was too small, the same people who said I couldn't win a Super Bowl with our offense, the same people who said I couldn't play in a 3-4, ... Are they with me when I get up every morning at 6:30 to go to work? The day I lose a step is the day I lose love for the game.
