guys known people
Now that I really think about it, of all the people I've known in all these years, it was those two guys that were most instrumental in my career,
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.
athletic guys lose lucky pick speed start stuff using
... I use that stuff now even more than ever. A lot of times when you first come in, you're getting by on your speed or your athletic ability. When you start to lose that, that's when you start going to that kind of stuff. At that time, those guys were using that stuff and I was lucky to pick it up at a young age.

With a little over a minute, you give Tom Brady and his offense the ball and all they need is 25 yards ... . It's tough.

If we don't get in, it's going to be very disappointing. And that's the message in this locker room: let's finish what we started. 'We've got everything we wanted in front of us.
ask division obviously opportunity playoffs teams win wish
Obviously the division (title) may not happen, but the opportunity to get into the playoffs is there, and that's what we want. We don't have to wish on any other teams to win or lose. If we win, we're in -- and that's all we can ask for.

Right now, I'm just worried about Atlanta and trying to get a win and getting into the playoffs.

finish locker message
That's the message in this locker room, that we need to finish what we started.
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.
I think so. We're going to find out.
