Every day is not perfect. You have your bad days and good days just like anyone else. You do not want to talk to people sometimes. It is normal.
You know, I’ve had my ups and downs.
I consider myself more of a loner now and I think when you get older, especially in this game, and just talking with other players who have come and gone, I see what they were saying when I was a young guy in the locker room.
I didn’t know what to expect coming into this year. There were a lot of question marks, and I think that’s obvious now. Can we overcome it? Time will tell.
I’ve seen a lot of people jump on and off my bandwagon.
If I can change than anyone can change. I promise you that.
Injuries obviously change the way you approach the game.
I think people have all faced decisions at times where you never know.
I’m thankful for all the things that this job has given me and my family. But probably the thing that I am most proud of throughout my career is that, not only myself, but my family and the people around me have just been regular people, which we are.
I don’t worry anymore about where’s the big hangout Tuesday night, Friday. Couldn’t tell you and no one comes to me for advice anymore in those areas anymore, so real boring I would say.
In the NFL a lot of times everyone gets caught up in the business side of things. For them it’s all about money and it really leaves a sour taste in your mouth.
You can lose a game but, I see guys every week including myself, you lose a game, it’s a tough loss, you’re down, two weeks later you forgot about it. You know it’s amazing how down you were, but all of the sudden you’re like it never happened.
Sometimes you get caught up in what’s going on around you. The reality is that you are just a regular person. At some point, the career will be over, the bright lights turn off. That can come back to haunt you if you’re not just a regular guy.
Nothing, for the most part, surprises me anymore.
Yip cabbage on three!
I know I can still play, but it’s like I told my wife, I’m just tired mentally. I’m just tired.
There are those people who are in your corner no matter what, you can’t do any wrong, even when you do wrong. And then there are those people that no matter what you do they are going to dislike you and that’s not going to change.
I don’t really care what’s going on I just care about getting my job done the best that I can possibly do and deal with the other things in my life that take a lot of time and a lot of thought.
I knew I needed surgery and I didn’t want to have it and I ended up having it.
I think every player should think that he’s a difference maker.
