It's just like high school. If you're a freshman or a sophomore, it's hard to tell the seniors who've been through two, three, playoff games what to do.

You try and work hard and get better each week. I play the game with passion. I enjoy the game. It's a lot of fun when I'm out there. That's the way I play. For some reason, people like that.

You just work at it. You just keep grinding away, keep trying to get better, and if you got the ability, one day you have a chance.

I think my best years are ahead of me and that's exciting.

It's about the process. It's about getting better. 'Let's execute on this play, let's execute on this drive.' You do those things, and over the course of the season you'll get better as a team and you'll get to a point where hopefully you're playing at a high level to win the games that really become at another level.

I think you use the negative things that happen from the year before - and from other years, too - to spur you to do the things you need to do to take the next step.
