... I use that stuff now even more than ever. A lot of times when you first come in, you're getting by on your speed or your athletic ability. When you start to lose that, that's when you start going to that kind of stuff. At that time, those guys were using that stuff and I was lucky to pick it up at a young age. |
As players, we're just not playing consistently enough. We've played great. We've played good enough to win at times, but on a consistent basis we have to play better. |
At my age, I think they sleep on me a little bit. They don't expect me to go deep. |
Earlier in my career, I would have scored. |
For what they've asked me to do, I feel I've made plays when given the opportunities. I think that's why they wanted me back and that's why I made the decision to come back. |
He smashed my chin. That didn't feel too good. |
I don't know yet. I've learned not to say. I'm going to do the same thing I did last year — wait a couple of months, see how things stand, spend some time with my family. |
I just told them how honored and proud I am to be a part of this football team. I've been on some great football teams and this may not be the most talented team, but as far as character and heart and never-die mentality, this is as good as it gets. |
I think so. We're going to find out. |
I told them I'm proud to be a part of this team. I've been on some great football teams. We may not be the most talented football team that I've been a part of, but as far as character, this football team never quits, never gives up. To me, those are the things that mean more than just wins and losses. Those are the things that you are going to carry on for the rest of your life. If you keep fighting and never quit, you can come back. It's all in how you respond. This football team has always responded, and that's what they did today. |
I told them it's tough for me, being 37 years old, to handle two-a-days, especially in this heat. At my age it's just hard to lose eight or nine pounds in the first practice and then come back out in the afternoon. |
I was just mad because if it was earlier in my career I would have scored. Parts were starting to fly off of me a little bit. I was trying, praying, and hoping to get in, but at 37 years old, it just kind of catches up with you a little bit. |
I'm going to take away a lot from the game that I love so much, that has given me so much. I guess I have learned in the past not to make a decision now - especially going out like this. It's tough. |
I'm going to throw a name at you and see if you remember him, ... Roy Green. He was a heck of a receiver. Remember him? |
I'm not even thinking about that right now. I'm thinking about Atlanta and trying to get into the playoffs. |
