As the game goes on, I usually get stronger and more comfortable and have a better feel for what to do. Life is about opportunities. Unfortunately Ronnie was down, so this week I made the most of the opportunity.
You have to realize I've been away from the game for a long time,
It shows how important it is to stay behind your team even through the hard times. Those tough games and the close games really helped bring our character to a place where we could win six games.
It's hard to judge your game without looking at the film. I thought I competed. That's what I wanted to do.
This is the ultimate team game, but I make everyone else on my team better by making myself better.
Once we get through the mental part and get on the field, it will be fun. We don't have any Monday night or Sunday night games this year, so it's a chance to take advantage of the national attention and make a name for ourselves.
I think it was good enough to help us win. We need to keep it in that frame of mind. I was able to get the ball a little more. The biggest thing for the running game is rhythm. When you convert third downs, you can sustain rhythm.
We talked before the game and I wished him good luck, ... It was good to see him out there.
I loved playing football, but the reasons I loved football were just to feed my ego. And any time you feed your ego, it's a one-way street. There were so many things I had to deal with that erased the positives I got from playing the game that it wasn't worth it. It's like eating a Big Mac and drinking a Diet Coke.

I'm a huge gamer, everything from PC to Xbox to PS2.
I don't feel like my speed or my power or my desire to play this game has diminished at all.
What's fun is how laid-back everything is. It's always great to get in the end zone, but it's especially great to do it against the best players in the world with millions of people watching.
I've still got 4,000 yards left in me, ... Who is gonna turn that down?
