biggest care eyes happy hitting painful red trying watching
You see it in my eyes? Red eyes? ... I was trying to get it done, man. I didn't care who was hitting me, what was happening. Fearless. I was just happy to be out there with the fellows. That was my biggest thing. It was just painful watching them out there fighting.

You see it in my eyes? Red eyes? ... I was trying to get it done, man.
admit faster hate point realizing seeing start studying
The more I'm studying film, the better I'm getting, the faster I'm getting. As much as I would hate to admit that, I'm kind of seeing the differences. I'm realizing you get to a point of health, but then there's a point where you start getting back to who you are.
against amongst beat change close game indeed measures necessary perception plays realize rep since start steps taking team together until win
That's what we've been doing since I've been here. It's always close, but not close enough. Until all of us as a whole come together and realize that we can indeed win and start taking the necessary steps and measures to do that, then that'll be what we are: The team that plays hard, and you're going to have to play your tails off to beat them, but some way, somehow, we'll win the game against them. And I think that's kind of like our rep right now, and we have to do everything we can to change that perception of us. And more importantly, we have to change it amongst ourselves.
biggest bottom fit main matter people redskins six tired
That's been like the biggest misconception of who I am. People think I'm selfish. They think I'm this and think I'm that, and that's not me. How about this: I just want to see the Redskins win, dog. That's the bottom line, and we'll go from there. That's my main focus. No matter where I fit into all of this, I just want to see us win. I've been here six seasons, and I'm tired of losing.
came direction gotten maybe rookie
I wasn't one of their guys, and maybe that was the direction they wanted to go in. I've gotten older. I'm not just a young rookie who is as moldable. Maybe that's where the difficulties came in.
focus forward looked turned
I looked forward to the focus on me being turned back on football.
beautiful content means ready youth
I have youth. That's a beautiful thing. I'm hungry. I'm by no means a content individual. I'm not content with where I'm at. I don't need to be motivated. I'm motivated. I'm ready to go.
bit guys looking maybe
I'm motivated. You guys are going to get what you're looking for - maybe a little bit more.
figure letting trying
I'm just trying to figure out where we go from here. This one's got me confused. We're just letting them get away, the same way, over and over again.
anybody glad happy
I'm just happy it's over. I'm glad we got it resolved. I don't want to play for anybody else.
catch chest head running watching
I'm watching film and I'm running with my chest up, my head back. ... That's not how you run and catch somebody.
condemn injury job losing ongoing people ridicule soap supportive
If people want to ridicule me and condemn me for losing a job after an injury then so be it. But I'm still not going to be part of an ongoing soap opera. I've got to be supportive of my team.
talk
I didn't play. There ain't nothing to talk about.
