mom taken worries
I told my mom that all our worries are pretty much taken care, financially.
decision family sure talking
It's still probably about 50-50. The decision has to come about quicker, just to be done with it. I still have a lot of talking to do with my parents, just to make sure they feel comfortable with my decision and making sure that I do the right thing for my family and myself.
determines focused nfl team whether year
I'm just focused on the team and focused on this being my 'money' year. This is the year that determines whether I go to the NFL (in 2006).
behind break caught proven worried
Not at all, because I've proven I haven't been able to be caught from behind once I break free. That's something I'm not really worried about.
against best country defense majority move practice stop time
We go against the best defense in the country in our defense every day in practice and the majority of the time we are effective. If we can move against our defense, there's no way any other defense is going to stop us.
beat care honest
To be honest with you, I don't care about them. I know we can beat them deep.
ball care hurt offense previous taking
This offense has been here all along. It's just that not taking care of the ball hurt us in previous games.
accomplish aside care decision few front knowing means personal task
That personal decision should always be second. Knowing you have a few other things to accomplish before making that personal decision, means that you should put that personal decision aside and take care of the task right in front of you.
came draft history knowing legacy
That's why I came here, to become a first-round draft pick, knowing the history of all the receivers that have made a legacy here and in the NFL. I just really wanted to be part of that trend.
coming game good publicity ted teddy
Ted Ginn didn't get much publicity coming into this game and I think that was good for him. Teddy was terrific.
affect capable game leading plays team
Pretty much we don't have a No. 1 quarterback. We have two quarterbacks who are capable of making plays and leading this team ... that doesn't affect me at all in game situations.
people plate stepping
I have a lot of responsibility. I'm stepping up to the plate with no one's help. A lot of people look down on me because I have kids.
attention drawn focus instead
Now we can focus on what we can do with one quarterback instead of having controversy and a lot of attention drawn to the team.
both gonna great mistakes special teams
It's gonna come down to who is the most disciplined team. Both teams have great defenses, the offenses are being very productive, the special teams are doing their job. It's going to be the team that capitalizes most on the mistakes the other team makes.
