I think this can be a championship team. But we do have to take it one game at a time. You can't look at the end of the road before you get the next foot in.
This is who I am. I'm not perfect. I don't want to try to be perfect.
The team that is the most focused and executes the best is the team that wins. That's usually the team that can handle the pressure of the situation.
Believe it and it will happen.
I was scared every time I put on a uniform and stepped on the field. I’m scared every day I go into the studio and I come on stage because I fear that I will not live up to what is expected. I fear that somebody who spent a lot of money to come into our studio, to come to New York and they’ll walk away and go, ‘I could have stayed at home.’ I feared that as a player a fan would come to the stands and I wouldn’t perform well. Just the way I’m built. I’m more scared of failure than I am excited about the accolades that come with success.
I appreciate that without a doubt. Great quarterback. I just look at it as going up against Kerry Collins, who is playing for the Raiders now. Nothing more.
If I'd known where I was, I would have just fallen down.
'The Notebook' gets me every time. It's a great love story. Boy from the wrong side of the tracks. They get on each other's nerves, but they can't live without each other. It almost makes me shed a tear.
That's probably one of our biggest spikes on our team, that whole combination of the three guys inside, one who is an aggressive linebacker who can run like the wind and two tackles who are athletic and strong. That's why people can't run on us - the middle has been pretty stout.
It reminds me of coming back against those guys when they were undefeated.
It's not over. We're disappointed, everybody is mad, but it's not over.
It's not Kerry Collins against the Giants. It's the Raiders against the Giants. It's this team against that team.
Everybody's professional. Nobody's an idiot. Nobody's a jerk. We all know each other. So it's not like we see each other in the city and we run over and bust the window out of their car with a baseball bat or nothing. We're all friends.
That guy across from me is not trying to be my friend once we're out there and I'm not trying to be his either. We're not playing just to go out there and put on a show and let these guys win the game.
