Julian Peterson Quotations

We know we're not just a 2-14 team. We just have to remember how to win. And remember how to hold on to the lead and continue to improve once you have the lead. There's nothing wrong with beating a team 55-0.

Next time I'm going to say it, the game's going to be the Super Bowl. That's it.

I didn't want that Philly loss to cost us two games, thinking about how they beat up on us,

I feel pretty confident, because it's getting better and better as the days go by,

I can tell you one thing, you will get a player who is going to be playing 100 percent and giving it his all no matter what the circumstances are. I just play the game the way it is supposed to be played.

I get pumped up all the time, but definitely for this one.

He was aggressive and you saw him accepting that challenge, ... Guys like him are going to do nothing but help our team.

Last week, it all started to click. It's a possibility (leaving) could happen. I'm just going to cherish the moment like I normally do, and just go out there and play like it is my last time.

Let me show you what I can do to you.

We have our whole team back, ... Everybody was looking forward to this season and new beginnings. We came out there ready to fight. It's great to get the first one out of the way.

We'll be very prepared. We're looking forward to winning. We're not taking anything away from that team. We know what we're up against.

We wanted to go out there with intensity to show our feeling for Thomas. We wanted to be really aggressive, really go after people.

Yeah, I'm guaranteeing it, ... I'm guaranteeing that whatever the Dallas Cowboys do Monday night, we're going to come out and win.

We should have won that game. It should have been up to the defense.

When our DBs cover great, like they did today, you can do great things in the pass rush.

This is really what I was looking for. This is the perfect situation for me.

This is a difficult decision. A very difficult decision.

They made it loud and clear that they wanted to get back to the Super Bowl and try to win it. That's what I am trying to. I have never won a Super Bowl, never won any championship in my life. Always came in second.

There's a whole different attitude now. It feels good to come into practices and games with this kind of preparation. We feel like we're ready to go out there this season and get this franchise back to where we expect it to be.

It's all about timing, movement and getting back to what you're familiar with, ... We had so many guys out last year, so many little things going wrong, that it's hard to judge. We're going to show who we really are this year.

The biggest thing is strengthening the whole leg, ... Once all that comes together, 12 months will probably be when everything comes together.

It just wasn't working out, ... When it was time to get some burst and move downhill, I couldn't do it.

I know this was a big rivalry, ... Whoever won that playoff game was going to win the Super Bowl. Lately, it's been different. The Cowboys fell down. We fell down. But I really feel both teams are on the way up now.

I never played that much defensive end. But I'll do anything.

I had a lot of emotion from missing a lot of games last year, just the emotion of coming back. Was I coming back at the same level I left at?(He was) a little anxious, a little nervous. Then, after awhile, it was just football.

I just wanted to make sure that the team didn't feel like, 'Oh, woe is me' after last week. That's why I gave out the guarantee.

(In) the Arizona game, I felt like I was back to being unstoppable. I didn't care who you are or what position you played, I was going to get the best of the matchup. ... I just hope it's not any different when I come back on Sunday.

I felt so bad, I wanted to go out there to clip him.

I asked her if she wanted to go up to Napa, go around in a limo, anything, ... She just wanted to cut my hair. She did the first swipe with the razor, and she just said, 'Yes!'

He snatched me, ... I just couldn't do it.

He's nothing like his father at this point of his career. If we can rattle him, we can get him to pull the ball down and get him on the run.

The last five, six years, we've been pretty much drafting defensive players to run with the Rams offense, ... We match up very well. We're not really threatened by their skill positions.
