My entire life has been spent thinking about this game. That's pretty narrow... I don't view myself as a person who's well-versed in very many subjects. I'm not proud of that.

It's a lot easier to lose than it is to win. It's easier, but it's not more comfortable.

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

Why would you live your life worrying about something that's not going to happen?

I'm glad we were able to win this last one. I saw some good things tonight, ... It's just preseason, but we ran the ball good. I'm happy about that, and the first-team offense was pretty sharp.

I don't have to make examples out of players to establish my own place. I don't feel like I have to.

You ask yourself, 'What do you want your legacy to be?' I'm content at this point to say, 'Those who follow me.' Romeo Crennel, Bill Belichick, Sean Payton, to name a few. I think I've got a pretty good group, so far.
