I thought there were still some things that I was doing to contribute a little bit, just in the meeting room and on the sideline, |
I want to help this team any way I can, |
I want to help this team any way I can, ... They tell me I can play, I know I can play, so, shoot, let's just play. |
I was ready mentally and physically and emotionally. Sometimes you just got to pick yourself up off the ground and get back to living your life, and that is all I am trying to do. |
I wouldn't be standing here in front of you if I didn't think I could play football, ... I know my physical abilities are here. I think my 10 years of experience will help also. I know what it looks like, I know how to react to it, just from experience. |

I'm back to doing what I love. |
I'm back to doing what I love. Sometimes, you've just got to pick yourself off the ground and get back to living your life. That's all I was trying to do. |

I'm going to try. I felt good out there, but I'm not going to make any guarantees or promises [other than] that I'm going to give it my best shot. |
I'm just playing the way I know how to play. Third game back, I keep getting better myself. That's the goal I have individually: improve from week to week. |
