I was very confident. I have no doubt about my ability, what I can do on the football field. |
I wouldn't want to say the organization was in chaos, but there was some turmoil and [I] just never felt comfortable in Cincinnati, |
I'll be supportive of Marc, and if something happens, I'll be ready to play. |
I'm 34 now and still can play and feel really good. That's why you move around and that's why my family has gone with me. I thank them all the time for letting me take my opportunity to play football. |
I'm just going to do everything I can to stay here. |
I'm like, 'Forget it. Just charge me what the regular (price is). I couldn't tell you what number it's under.' |
I'm vastly different, ... Vastly different. . . . I think back to where I was. Things come to you so much quicker now, but you're relaxed, not hurried. You don't look like you're fluttering in the wind. You get more poised as you get older, a lot better as a player. |
I've been through a lot in my career, ... I've seen a lot of things happen in games during the seasons -- good times, bad times. I've had a lot of adversity I've dealt with in my career. I know we're going to go through that this year. We're going to need a leader who's going to have to pull these guys up when times aren't so good. I've been through a lot, and I am just ready to take control. |
I've been through them a bunch of times, and every competition is different, ... I just have to go out and practice and prepare as if I'm the starter, and hopefully that's good enough to be the starter and lead the team. |
If you change your offense, it's a whole other learning curve you have to go through. The guys took so long to learn the offense last time that by keeping the same thing we're a step ahead. I don't want us to take another step backward. |
It does a lot for his confidence, |
It doesn't matter to me. I know that I am getting the reps with the No. 1s, and if I was still going with the 2s, I would be doing the same thing, |
It felt great. I have confidence in myself. I can make the throws and play this game, even though everybody calls me an old man for some reason. I don't know why. |
It felt great. That's why I came here, |
It is a big one for us because it is a divisional game, and the way I am looking at it, it is the next game. |
