My energy level rises but I get calmer, if that's possible. What a lot of people tend to do is get real tight and get all psyched up and take themselves out of their game.

Football is what I love, and I know I can do it, too.

What I try to do is create an energy, create an excitement, but at the same time keep everybody focused and realize it's still just a game, that we have to move the football.

To me, I'm still a 24-year-old kid who just happens to have a better paying job than other kids my age.

We're still as confident, as optimistic as we ever were. You know we hit a little stumbling block here, but I think it's going to be good for us because we can learn from it.

I'm lucky - we're all lucky - to be playing a game for a living.

Winning is about believing you're never out of a game. I've always believed that.
