Certain guys are like relief pitchers; they come off the bench, they don’t know when they’re playing – you come in and you just go. Certain guys, they like to start; they like to start the game and play. I believe Kirk Cousins is a reliever. I don’t know if he’s a starter.

There's no fast track, no easy track, especially from where I came from. You try to take the most of it and learn from it and hope others learn from it. That's what it is about.

Once the game begins, I play to that song in my head. I run to rhythm, and that allows my mind to be free.

Ozzie Newsome hit a home run by drafting Bernard Pierce. He is a great compliment to Ray Rice.

When a team tells you we’re going to let you get your option regardless if you get it or not, that’s a message to you as to what you need to do in order to make this team or to be on this team next year.

If [the Packers] can protect Aaron Rodgers and allow him to throw the ball down the field this game will not even be a contest. But if they do not, and Minnesota can come in here and run the football, we are going to have ourselves a good game tonight.

When things are not going right, where are the leaders to pull this team together? That leadership sometimes, you just can’t find it. If one of your leaders is the guy who throws five interceptions [in one game], you have an issue.
