How great a life is this? To get to knock guys' heads off for 60 minutes and not get thrown in jail?Collection: Jail
All I can do is go out there and play hard and try and help my team win, and that's what I'm going to keep doing.Collection: Team
People don't think I'm big enough to be mean. I don't look big enough, but I am.Collection: Mean
You've got to be a little nasty out there. But most of the time, I'm having fun.Collection: Fun
You want to be the best at your position. And if people think of me as one of the best ever, that's the ultimate compliment.Collection: Thinking
If you play angry, you lose what you're supposed to do. On defense we just read our keys and play fast.Collection: Keys
I lead by example. But if I get pissed enough, I'll say something. It usually isn't rah-rah; it's more complaining.Collection: Example
My mom is my heart. But my [step]dad was my role model, the hardest working man I ever knew.Collection: Mom
I see things as they happen pretty quick, and I just go hit it.Collection: Happens
You know what we should do? We should just put flags on everybody. Let's make it the NFFL - the National Flag Football League. It's unbelievable.Collection: Football
It's freaking football. There are going to be big hits. I don't understand how they can do this after one weekend of hitting. And I can't understand how they can suspend us for it. I think it's a bunch of bull.Collection: Football
I like to think of myself as a regular guy, except I play football for a living. I try not to be an arrogant turd out there.Collection: Football
I want to be remembered as a championship football player.Collection: Football
I love football in the rain. That is what it's all about.Collection: Football
But I hate the way our identity has changed. We used to establish the run and wear teams down and try not to make mistakes, and we’d rely on our defense to keep us in the game and make big plays to put us in position to win. Kyle Orton might not be the flashiest quarterback, but the guy is a winner, and that formula worked for us. I hate to say it, but that’s the truth.Collection: Running
Steve Smith, thats what happened to us. He just kept making plays. We had a plan. We never really doubled him. We ran a lot of Cover 2, and obviously that didnt work out too good for us.Collection: Play
