He's going to be really good, ... He's big, he's fast, he's strong, and I think his best attribute is his mind is really sharp.
We talked before the game and I wished him good luck, ... It was good to see him out there.
But that has nothing to do with... well, I guess it does. That is the reason that I did come back.
I have neighbors, I have friends, and now I have to pick up and go. It's the off-season. I don't have to be here right now but I choose to. It's going to be hard to have to transplant somewhere else.
I guess I haven't earned his respect yet, ... He feels like I have to earn it. That's something I can understand. I'm definitely looking forward to him calling me that.
We talk about life, we talk about our philosophies. He always sends me books. It's a different kind of relationship.
He's got size, quickness, great feet. He's smart. He's strong. I mean, looking at him, I definitely see why they used the No. 2 pick on him.
I did make my decision. But my concept of the truth expands on a daily basis. My loyalty is to the truth and not to consistency.
I can't say it didn't play into my decision,
I found a reason to apologize. We are all different ... If someone sees things differently than I do, I still have to respect them, therefore, if I hurt someone or if they felt what I did upset them, then out of respect for them, I owe them an apology.
Get out of yourself, get into the team.
To get more out of yourself, you have to expect more out of yourself. Before your body can achieve it, your mind has to perceive it.
What's fun is how laid-back everything is. It's always great to get in the end zone, but it's especially great to do it against the best players in the world with millions of people watching.
Victories have been hard to come by this year. I think when we can, late in the game, stick together and pull one out it's going to help our confidence.
