I'm not into judging or defining careers in the middle of a career. I hope to play for a number of more years. I am not looking back on my first eight years thinking about what is going to happen in years to come.
(Offensive coordinator) Tom Moore made a good point: In the NFL, you don't pick up where you left off, ... You have to go out and earn it this year.
I think sometimes guys coming from college think if you lose one game you're out of the mix, but if you lose two or three or four in the NFL, you'll still be OK, ... It's not really that way anymore.
I can't tell you how much I studied these guys the last two weeks. We expected to play Pittsburgh. I really studied them hard and just really, just tried to prepare as hard as I possibly could. It's so disappointing when you don't win the game.
We have a high sense of urgency on this team. We realize with free agency and with injuries, the days of building and talking about playing for 2006 and 2007, that doesn't make sense anymore.
The attitude with which we approach the situation can determine our success or failure.
I never left the field saying I could have done more to get ready and that gives me piece of mind.
I pray every night, sometimes long prayers about a lot of things and a lot of people, but I don't talk about it or brag about it because that's between God and me, and I'm no better than anybody else in God's sight.
I don't usually stink, but I stunk
We have to try really hard to not accidentally summon a demon.
Ive never taken for granted what weve had, not for one single game, not one single practice, ... Ive truly been blessed.
He had a Halloween party and I dressed up as The King. One of the more enjoyable nights I've had. Nobody recognized me. They recognized me, but they recognized me as Elvis. I might have to bring that back to Indianapolis.
My dad was a class person on and off the field. That's the person I want to be.
