against attention ball competition garner gets goes great guy guys humble job looking played respect score top trying twice year
Probably Marvin Harrison. I played against him twice a year when (the Colts) were in our division, and the guy doesn't say a word. He just goes out there and gets the job done each and every year. He's not looking for the attention some of the other receivers are looking for. That's how you garner respect around the league: by being a humble person and not trying to humiliate guys. There's competition out there, and guys are working their tails off. So when you score a touchdown give the ball back to the ref. On top of that he's a great player.

roll second
He's unbelievable, man. The second half, they got on a roll and it was like they were doing anything they wanted.
fooled guys help routes run somewhat thinking totally wondering
I was just thinking about it yesterday, wondering if I'm going to get fooled or not, ... It's going to help me somewhat because I know what those guys can do and I know some of their releases, but they're in a totally different offense. In one respect, it will (help me), but in another, they run totally different routes now.
form great hold offense peak points proud satisfied second shape
It's just the second game. We don't feel like we're at our peak yet. But to hold a great offense to 17 points is something you can be proud of. But in no way, shape or form are we satisfied with how we played. We know we can play better.
basically listening sorry
He basically was, 'I'm sorry for not listening to you guys.' I told him he didn't have to apologize,

He's been through a real tough ordeal that none of us could even imagine. He caught a bus to Houston.
couple form
regains the form he had a couple of years ago.
business happy left move played seven time understand year
It was a business decision, you know, ... I still had one year left on my deal. When you get so many years in the league, you understand it's a business. They made a business decision. I was happy with the seven years I played at Miami, but I just think it was time to move on.
ability bring last numbers opportunity traded
You really don't know what to expect, but you see the numbers, you see the rankings, and that's all you have to go by, ... Obviously, the numbers were down last year. When I got traded here, I just thought it was an opportunity to bring some leadership, to bring some playmaking ability to the defense.
both game great guys hurt key stopping
Both those guys are great backs, and they can do different things. We're going to have to be on our P's and Q's because both those guys can hurt us at any time. That's the key to the game -- stopping those guys.
