You've got to be a little nasty out there. But most of the time, I'm having fun.

I lead by example. But if I get pissed enough, I'll say something. It usually isn't rah-rah; it's more complaining.

It's freaking football. There are going to be big hits. I don't understand how they can do this after one weekend of hitting. And I can't understand how they can suspend us for it. I think it's a bunch of bull.

You can call it ugly if you want, but I'd call it a win.

All I can do is go out there and play hard and try and help my team win, and that's what I'm going to keep doing.

Two of the people I don't care about: fans or media.

But I hate the way our identity has changed. We used to establish the run and wear teams down and try not to make mistakes, and we’d rely on our defense to keep us in the game and make big plays to put us in position to win. Kyle Orton might not be the flashiest quarterback, but the guy is a winner, and that formula worked for us. I hate to say it, but that’s the truth.
