All of that stuff, I've let it go,
home school mvp
I will put my Butkus (Award) in storage. I will put my Alamo Bowl MVP trophy in storage. Jerseys, anything Penn State, in storage. Wherever Tom Bradley goes, that's the school I will start to put memorabilia up in my home. I'm done. I'm done with Penn State. If they're done with us, I'm done with them.
injustice happens
It's a total injustice. Things like that happen in life.
care coaches felt gotten happy tension took type vibe
I was just happy to be out there. I don't care what package, I don't care how they use me, ... The interaction between me and the coaches has gotten a little better. I felt there was a different type of vibe between us, which was kind of good. It took some tension out of the air.
aggressive defense fake game lose past run team
I think they thought we were going to be so aggressive that they'd be able to do a little fake here, a play-action there, and, zoom, we'd run right past them and lose our focus. We didn't do that. This wasn't just the kind of game our defense needed, it was the kind of game our team needed.
abruptly ahead focal guys hard leader nice opportunity people point pressure type
It's hard being a leader for so long, being a focal point for so long, and then it kind of abruptly stops. It's nice to be back in the mix. It's also nice not to have 'THE PLAYER' pressure on me anymore. It's on other guys this year. It's going to give me an opportunity to go ahead and play and let the other people have that type of attention.
abruptly focal guys hard leader nice opportunity people point possibly pressure
It's hard being a leader for so long and being a focal point for so long, ... and then it kind of abruptly stops. It's nice to be back in the mix, and it's also nice not to have 'The Player' pressure on me anymore. It's on other guys this year, so it's going to give me an opportunity possibly to just go out here and play and let the other people have that kind of attention.
creates crowd defense loud
It was loud on the field. That always creates opportunities for a defense when the crowd is loud like that.
anyone bad besides capable continue given playing redskins rid
It's not a given that I'll continue playing if the Redskins get rid of me. I don't really want to play for anyone else. I don't feel bad about it. I've had my time. I'm capable of doing other things besides football.

It's not a given that I'll continue playing if the Redskins get rid of me.
care embrace football gave happy main okay personal phenomenal saw second special time year
I think he's a special person. He'll be all right. He's still growing, he's a young pup in his second year in the league, man, and he'll be fine. We care about him, and not because it's a football thing, but as a personal thing. I was just happy that he was all right. I gave him a big embrace the first time I saw him and I was just happy that he was okay from everything. That was my main concern, not, 'Were you in your playbook?' We'll find that out when the time is right. He's still learning, but he's a phenomenal athlete. I think he'll be fine.
I was thinking, 'Wow, I'm really in here,'
great man nice opportunity regular
That was pretty cool, huh? ... I was thinking, 'Wow, I'm really in here.' It was a great deal. Man, I had an opportunity to be a part of what I've been a part of for so many years. It was nice getting back out there on a regular basis.
