I know how difficult my rookie year in the NFL was and I know how competitive this sport is.
I've always viewed myself as an achiever. I need to achieve for myself.
12 of the best years of my life - It will never be forgotten.
Losing doesn't eat at me the way it used to. I just get ready for the next play, the next game, the next season.
We go in with eyes wide open and recognize there will be a lot of hard work involved. But we anticipate having success. We feel like we have assembled a great group of people. If we were going to do it any other way, we would have made an announcement a long time ago. We were very diligent.
Just remember that nothing is as bad as it seems and nothing is as good as it sometimes appears.
Things are never as good as you think they are or ever as bad as you think they are.
We're going to have to fast-track it on some things, but we can put a team together and a competitive team. Everything has come together in a positive way.
What I knew coming in has only been reinforced, is how competitive this sport is, and how much of a disadvantage a startup team is under. But I do think we're going to continue to do better.
Would we like to win? Absolutely. If we can finish in the top 25, I think everybody would feel real good about that. I hope it's not as difficult as my rookie season was. I was 0-11 as a starter.
We got them right where we want them. The stage may be set for one of the greatest comebacks in playoff history. He's clearly frustrated that they haven't really been able to get the ball to him.
