Remind your critics when they say you don't have the expertise or experience to do something that an amateur built the ark and the experts built the Titanic

I've been a Colt for almost all of my adult life, but I guess in life, and in sports, we all know nothing lasts forever. Times change, circumstances change, and that's the reality of playing in the NFL.

I like to be able to do things on my own. I'm a big boy. I can drive myself to an appearance or get on a plane. I like a little bit of independence...

Nobody really wants to hear about anybody else's injuries. Or how your back feels. Whose back doesn't hurt?

I don't like to play favorites, and I do try to spread the ball around. But there's an old rule: You throw to the guys who get open in practice.

If nothing else in life, I want to be true to the things I believe in, and quite simply, to what I'm all about. I know I'd better, because it seems whenever I take a false step or two I feel the consequences.

I want to be out there every single snap, every single play.
