You get too old to lose. When you were a young guy, you bounced back from losses.

What sets disciplined people apart? - The capacity to get past distractions. Focus on the task at hand.

God's been good to me, He really has.
Bill Parcells

I just try to do the best job I possibly can - put the blinders on, go to work and be the best you can possibly be. Once you have done everything that you possibly can - you've put forth your greatest effort - then I can live with whatever's next.

All you have to do is play better than the other guy and things go well. If you don't play better than the other players then somebody takes your place. Now a lot of guys, in this day and time with the transient nature of the sport, as soon as the competition gets too good, they want out.

I like linebackers. I collect 'em. You can't have too many good ones.

Image
I love the game. I think it's a great game because you find out a lot about yourself. You test your mettle every week. There's no grey area, there's instant gratification and there are no quarterly reports. We're not just doing a little bit better. You know every Sunday what happened.
Bill Parcells
Image
I talked to the team a lot about staying power. You never find out if you have that until you've been beaten down a few times.

My expectations are greater than the average fan's but, I'm more realistic than the top prognosticators.

Anybody who watched football last year knows they're good. But that represents a very good opportunity for us. It really does. I think somehow, if we're able to pull that off, I think it will go a long way for our confidence. I look at it as a great opportunity, and hopefully we'll be at our best when we get there.
