chicago game genesis playing since sure tackle
I've been playing since '93 so that's the game I play the most, ... I make sure I get it every year. It was on Genesis in '93, '94 and '95. That's when you could get Walter Payton; you could get Chicago '85, no problem. You couldn't tackle 'Sweetness.'
contribute fit trying
I'm just trying to fit in so when they do come back, I can contribute and be a significant part of this team.
call concern fine fit matter people
It's not a concern for me, ... I just have to show them that I'm a player, no matter what people want to call me. I think I'll fit in fine if I just do what I know I can.
against laid
Against Chicago, we laid back a little too much. At home, you can't do that.
both finish great guy happening rather starting
It's been good. Especially that we got the 'W' again, that's been the great thing about it. Going out there, starting the game, and being able to be out there at the finish has been awesome. I always was a guy that wanted to be in at the end of games, rather than just be in them at the beginning, but both of them have been happening right now.
earn emerged great guys league players whether
That's encouraging to me, ... A lot of guys here emerged and showed they can be great players in this league early. Whether I play a lot or play a little, I don't know. But I'm going to go in there and try to earn minutes.

The way the season started, is the way it ended. Losing close games and turning the ball over made us lose a lot of one-point games.
class days wake worry
Some days I wake up and have to go to class and think, If I had left, I wouldn't have to worry about this stuff.

I have always wanted to graduate from college and pursue a career in professional basketball. Over the next month, I will continue to gather information and decide what is best for me.
felt focus happy produce ready summer team
I felt like I was a part of the team when I went to summer league, but they say once it's in writing it's really official, so I'm happy I got that over and done with, ... Now I can just focus on working out and getting ready to produce for this team, so I can show them that they made the right decision.
advantage bigger dressing fit jump ready training wherever
This is way bigger than just dressing, I'll tell you that. It's a big jump from not dressing to dressing to starting. But wherever I can fit in, I've got to take advantage of it. It's a big lesson. You've got to be ready at all times. But that's what they tell you in training camp.
good happy though tough win
That is a good thing. But you still want to win at the end of the day. Even though it didn't happen, we're still happy that we showed we could play in that tough environment.
bit difficult heard passing vision window windows
I heard it's a little bit more difficult now because of the passing vision because Peyton Manning's window is so big but all the other quarterbacks windows are not that big, ... You just got to get used to it
