work works
I always try to do as much as I can do. I'm never a person that does not enough, because I'd regret not doing enough and think I probably could have done more. I probably go too far and have to reel myself back in, which works in some things, and other things it doesn't work.
raised trust trusted worked
If someone lies, well, you had a choice to trust that person or not. I think the way my father raised me, well, he trusted everybody. And that worked for him.
consistent great protecting side trust worker
I know he's protecting a side I can't see from very well. He's just very consistent over there. I have a lot of trust in him. He's a great competitor, he's a great worker and he's only going to get better. Football's important to him.
work-out half life-is
All I do is work out, oh my God! Half my life is spent in a gym somewhere, sweating.
kids work-out surfing
As for hobbies, I don't really read or watch TV. I'm very active. I like surfing, skiing, riding bikes with my kids, and working out with my friends.
school hard-work opportunity
That taught me how to work harder. I learned all about mental toughness on the practice field. If things weren't working out for me in high school, in college, early in my pro career, my solution was always to work harder and internalize. That way, whenever I got an opportunity, I was always prepared. See, there are a lot of guys who are all talk. They say they want to work harder and be the best, but they never pay the price. I love paying the price.
ball early false few move needed plays settled starts
It was very loud, but we have experienced that before. We had a few false starts early and we got settled down. Once we got settled down, we were able to move the ball -- we just didn't make the big plays that we needed to.
certain philosophy physical smart strengths team throughout tough
The strengths of the team have been different throughout the years. I do think we try to play a certain way of football. I think our philosophy is that we try to play smart and that we try to play tough and we try to play physical out there.

There was a lot of excitement coming into game, ... We were preparing all summer long for this team. We'll take the win.
adds everybody excited nervous three watching
Doug has been so nervous for three weeks, because that has been the plan. He was so excited when it went in, and I think everybody was (excited) because we were all watching in practice. He just adds to his legend.
season win
There's no better way to end the season than with a win over the Dolphins.
efficient game improving parts perfect trying
You always want to be perfect out there. But it's about really improving all parts of the game and trying to be more efficient on offense.
against came chance environment excellent game minutes team three tough win
We came into a tough environment against an excellent team and had a chance to win the game with three minutes left, ... I would take that any day of the week.

Who is our No. 1 rival? That's a tough one. I'm not really sure. I guess all of them.
