flying plays
We're flying to the ball. We're making plays when we have to.
mom dad heart
My mom is my heart. But my [step]dad was my role model, the hardest working man I ever knew.
example complaining enough
I lead by example. But if I get pissed enough, I'll say something. It usually isn't rah-rah; it's more complaining.
football player league
You know what we should do? We should just put flags on everybody. Let's make it the NFFL - the National Flag Football League. It's unbelievable.
winning want ugly
You can call it ugly if you want, but I'd call it a win.
football weekend player
It's freaking football. There are going to be big hits. I don't understand how they can do this after one weekend of hitting. And I can't understand how they can suspend us for it. I think it's a bunch of bull.

I see things as they happen pretty quick, and I just go hit it.

I want to be remembered as a championship football player.

Two of the people I don't care about: fans or media,
running mistake team
But I hate the way our identity has changed. We used to establish the run and wear teams down and try not to make mistakes, and we’d rely on our defense to keep us in the game and make big plays to put us in position to win. Kyle Orton might not be the flashiest quarterback, but the guy is a winner, and that formula worked for us. I hate to say it, but that’s the truth.
