I know that for myself. It's just one of those deals where you have to find your own niche. I told him to keep his head up ... He has all the talent in the world. He just has to keep his nose to the grindstone and just keep working, and he'll earn the respect of his teammates. |
I like our whole team. That's the biggest thing about football. It's got to be your whole team. It just can't be one side carrying the other. |
I talked to him about it when he was coming here and he wants to show a lot of people that he's still great. You're talking about a star player who got traded for what he thinks is basically nothing. |
I've always been a team player. Whatever they ask me to do I was going to do. It wasn't what I was used to and it wasn't playing to my strengths, but it was what the defense called for. |
I've always said I'll take the ugly win to the Picasso loss any day of the week. It's within our grasap. If we were being out-physicaled or just weren't good enough, that would be the discouraging part. But that's not the case with this ballclub. We're just having lapses at crucial times. |
I've got nothing to prove, |
I've seen Russ Hochstein block, and he can't, so this is a mismatch, plain and simple, ... Damien Woody was the best lineman they had. |

If you break them off into individual pieces, they are not that impressive, ... But they play well together. That's the thing that bodes well for us, is we're playing well together as a defense. |
If you don't have confidence in yourself, who's going to have confidence in you. He thinks he's one of the better backs in the league, and I think his numbers prove that. |
It ain't great [defense], by any stretch of the imagination, ... But it's a hell of a lot better than mixing and matching and allowing an offense to dictate to you. |
It was the first time in about four years [of sleeping by myself]. It was always either my wife or Brooks. Now I'm there by myself. It throws me off. |
It was the hardest year of my life. It was a humbling thing for me. That's the thing I always take from it. All the time you can't be the man. But you've got to play within the confines of a system. |
It was the hardest year of my life. It was humbling. I was a fish out of water. |
It's better in the four-man, I've always felt that way. Some people specialize in the 3-4 but we're better in the 4-3 and I'm glad we're where we're at. |
