I have the responsibility to work hard and get ready so we can take this team where we need to go.

I've already developed trust in my teammates -as a player and as a person.

You want to be playing your best in December and hopefully it'll carry over into January.

It's time for me to step up and take control. That's what I've always been used to.

Anybody who has watched me play knows I'm not one of the fastest guys, but I understand what's going on around me and what to look for. I know what the defense is doing.

What I can control and all I know as of today, I am signed up for one more year...I guess things could change, but with all the uncertainty in many aspects, I don't see (his decision not to sign an extension) changing before camp gets here, and when camp gets here I'm even more certain to play it out.
