A lot of people are counting him out because he's old, but Curt is still Curt, ... We can't fall into that trap. I've been telling my guys this week, 'He's off to a slow start, but don't buy into it.' |

For me, personally, I'm out there with one arm already, ... Now I lose somebody I depend on. But this is the NFL, and we expect the person that's behind him to be ready. |
He is the MVP of our team, ... He's what made our team go. He's the stature of what the Patriots are all about. As long as we have him back there, we have a chance to score points. Without Troy, we would not be here. |
He wouldn't want us to worry about him too much. That's just the type of guy he is, ... It's the teams that don't sit there and say, `Woe is me.' ... Now's the time for the young guys to do a little more and help fill that void. |

I know what it takes to win a championship, ... It doesn't take your leaders to be on the sidelines to get it done. So I made the sacrifice. ... I'm at the point in my career where opportunities are getting slim. |

I won a Super Bowl with Tebucky Jones, |
I've lined up next to many safeties. I've lined up next to at least 10 different safeties in my career. It's something that's not coachable. It's just two guys that just kind of get it. |
If we need some dirty work to be done, I'll do the dirty work, ... We're going to keep him pretty so he can be back there making the plays. |
In practice there's very few words being interchanged between us, and that's always a good sign because we're on the same page, ... That's a bonus to know you can control your side of the ball, control what you do and not have to worry about, is the other safety getting it right? |
