It's always tough, because then that's when you have to humble yourself and you've got to take coaching and you have to do whatever they tell you to do. Whether it takes away from your game or it helps your game, just deal with it. That's what I did. It didn't alter how I prepared, it didn't alter my passion for the game. But at the same time, it alters how dominant I can be in this game.
The scheme's got to fit your players. My thing is bashing running backs. That's what I want to get back to, just having fun and letting them deal with me. That's what the 46 package and the defense does.
We can't have a play like they had on the touchdown when we play the Colts. Rex and the coaches will fix that.
So, if I give any credit, besides giving all credit to God, for being totally healthy, it's just my workout and how much torture I put my body through in the offseason.
I've got Pacman, Galaga, Galaxian, Daytona 500. Those are the games I grew up playing.
Greatness is a lot of small things done well. Day after day, workout after workout, obedience after obedience, day after day.
The hardest thing to do is work hard when no one is watching.
Wins and losses come a dime a dozen. But effort, nobody can judge effort. Because effort is between you and you. Effort ain't got nothing to do with nobody else.
We get one opportunity in life, one chance at life to do whatever you're going to do, and lay your foundation and make whatever mark you're going to make. Whatever legacy you're going to leave; leave your legacy!
When you see tears in my eyes, you see it's not about the wins or the losses, It's about the opportunity.
I wasn't the biggest, the fastest, the strongest, and then I bought into something called work ethic.
I prepare so no one can take what is mine, no one can replace my mind, my heart.
Effort is between you, and you, and nobody else. So that team that thinks it's ready to see you, they think what they've seen on film, they ain't saw what film shows, because every day is a new day. Every moment is a new moment. So now you've got to go out and show them that I'm a different creature now, than I was five minutes ago, cause I'm pissed off for greatness. Cause if you ain't pissed off for greatness, that just means you're okay with being mediocre, and ain't no man in here okay with just basic.
