carry far fighting football gives great mean proud rest talented team wins
I told them I'm proud to be a part of this team. I've been on some great football teams. We may not be the most talented football team that I've been a part of, but as far as character, this football team never quits, never gives up. To me, those are the things that mean more than just wins and losses. Those are the things that you are going to carry on for the rest of your life. If you keep fighting and never quit, you can come back. It's all in how you respond. This football team has always responded, and that's what they did today.
anybody came certain clark creating funny gary guys heard job left mention routes roy running taught took wing worried year
It's funny now because when I mention his name, these guys around here just look at me because they've never heard of him, ... ... He took me under his wing and taught me a lot. There were some guys that were worried about job security. Roy wasn't like that at all. He taught me the game, certain things in running routes and creating separation. I only had him for a year and, then, he left and Gary Clark came in. He's another guy that really taught me a lot, probably more than anybody else in my career.

We're going to have the ball in our hands a lot on offense this season, because that defense of ours is as stout as any team's in this league. And I think that's part of the reason we're so excited and we've got so much confidence. This team works hard. We're just looking forward to getting the season started.

football home knew plays record road team
This football team plays well on the road. We have a better record on the road (6-2) than we do at home (5-3). We knew we just wanted to get in. As you all know, once you get in, anything can happen.
I think so. We're going to find out.
career earlier fly hoping mad parts starting
I was just mad because if it was earlier in my career I would have scored. Parts were starting to fly off of me a little bit. I was trying, praying, and hoping to get in, but at 37 years old, it just kind of catches up with you a little bit.
asked decision given plays
For what they've asked me to do, I feel I've made plays when given the opportunities. I think that's why they wanted me back and that's why I made the decision to come back.
