And as far as a team liking you, that's just how it is; either they like you or they don't. What you can do is make it easier for them to like you. And it's easier to like you if you respect the game, respect yourself and work at your craft every day. |
As far as health, that's just a blessing. There's just so much that's out of your control, that you don't know how it's going to go. Really, you've just got to be really fortunate. You've got to be lucky. |
Competition, baby, that's what this league is. You have to bring it every day, and that's good for everybody. |
Guys like that, they just don't get rattled. They always think they can win the game no matter what the scoreboard is telling them. They have that competitiveness. You can't give them the chance. |

It's tough to come out here and lose like this. It's the first game of the season, you've got to let it go now. It's hard, but (today's) a new day. San Diego doesn't care if we feel bad. Go, get back to work. |
On the practice field, though, they were the same. They like to put the pads on and go. |
Sure, being a Pro Bowler every year helps, but be a guy who shows up every week so they know what they're getting, ... It definitely makes a big difference. But be a positive influence in the locker room, be a guy who has great work ethic, who shows up every week, gives what he has. |
We just got to make tackles, |
We've just got to learn from it. When they make the catch, we have to make the tackle. |
You just need some luck and have someone like you, |
You know, some guys have problems with it, |
