If you were ever to interview me after a football game or at a football game or around me during football season is totally different than when you catch me away from football.
The wide receiver position is such a complex position.
So many times in my life, people have tried to make me a failure.
I still envision he'll rush for 1,500 yards and help lead this team to that postseason.
It ain't no rebirth. I realized it last year when he was here, then he was gone. Quickly.
Let's keep under the radar, ... We're old. We can't run. The quarterback from Buffalo is a bum. One receiver's a loudmouth, and another one's slow.
He threatened me a couple of times to make this decision.
This is what matters to me, ... Not all the big numbers, the fancy statistics. I want to make the plays that count.
You know those guys can play. You don't have to worry about that. Because you know our head coach knows something about football. Our head coach knows something about players. And he's going to get the right guys who know how to win.
We're playing decent football right now. We're not playing great football by any stretch of the imagination. And decent football is only going to get you so far. We've got to eventually get good, then get great.
The definition of swagger, in my opinion, is you have to have that arrogance, that confidence that you are the best out there at all times.
Trust me, I am fine. I'm healthy, I'm free from a horrible situation, and in a couple of months I'll be one of the two hottest receivers on the free-agent market, along with Terrell Owens . That means I'm going to get a nice payday and play for a team that wants me. I'm stunned and disappointed by what happened, but honestly, I'm relieved.
When you win, it obviously makes things a lot better, ... demeanor never really changes.
This probably was our most complete game since Philadelphia.
