Challenge Quotes
I was telling the guys that I felt like a rookie all over again, ... It's just a whole new atmosphere. It seemed like in New England everything had become normal, because we're just expected to win. And this is a whole new challenge -- getting this team off on the right note -- and just to be a part of that is exciting.

Accept Quotes
I don't control where the quarterback goes with the ball or when my play is called, so the bottom line is being positive and focusing on the team aspect and I've been conditioned over my nine years to do that. But it's extremely frustrating; I'd be lying if I told you anything otherwise. But its just the way it is. It's the nature of the beast, and that's what shows a great team: when you have guys who can acknowledge that, accept that, and deal with what they are dealt with.

Chances Quotes
Different guys have different things that they're going to do. I'm not really sure as far as what everybody's doing. You have to see who the coach is. Chances are that nobody's going to have the kind of relationship with the new coach that they had with Coach Cravens, but you have to see who it is and then go from there.

Appreciate Quotes
It kind of gets old, because you don't just want to be remembered for your past, ... You want to be remembered for what you're doing right now. All of that was good, and I appreciate everything I experienced there, but it's about here and now. What are the Redskins going to do? And when you experience that kind of success, everybody wants to know what you did to get there. Hopefully, I can bring and illustrate those positives, and we can build upon that.
