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'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.
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.
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.

Anyone who waits for someone else to make a change automatically becomes the follower.
To all the fantasy owners who drafted me: You're welcome.
Imitation is obviously a great form of flattery.
I understand the seriousness of concussions.
I remember when I first got into the league, I thought how it would be nice to have a year when you were the best. That means your team is probably winning.
If people think I'm a laid-back guy, that's their mistake.
