camp gets good
I understand what training camp is for. It's needed. It's necessary, so it's just one of those things that you have to put yourself through and it makes you better. It gets you in good shape, so it's necessary.
good hard
You might not feel good, and you might not want to practice, but you still go out there and practice as hard as you can.
couple good
You always feel pretty good after a bye, after a couple of days off. Not having a game, you freshen up a little.
good
I just want to play until I think I don't feel good - and if I can still do it. If I can't do it, I don't think I'll keep going once I don't feel I'm playing the way I want to.
christmas good guys
I have a good house for hosting, so we had the barbecues, and some of the guys over for Thanksgiving, even Christmas.
business guys love lying understand
Once you've been around this business long enough, anything is a possibility. It's a business first and foremost. Guys play it because they love it, but it is a business, and if you don't understand that it's a business, you're lying to yourself.
break defense great impose pound running spirit
It's always great when you just pound the rock, impose your will, and that is going to break the spirit of the defense if you can keep running it and they can't stop you.
might played
I might be in a little decline. I don't know. How many guys that have played 150 games are still on the upswing? I've played a lot of games, a lot of snaps.
time
You don't have time to dwell on what is going on in the games.
When someone invests in you, I don't want to disappoint them. I want to be the player they think they're getting.
If you could still run and play, there's no reason to go see a doctor, right?
collect sit watch
If I can run, I'm not going to sit out any game. I'm here to play football, not to watch and collect a check.
I'm not going to say something I shouldn't. In that way, I was probably the perfect guy to play in New England.
might
In football, you're hitting, so you might as well hit in practice.
