You know you are going to go through your ups and downs in this game.

Everyone runs their own race.

When you're younger, it's about 'How can I get better? How can I become the player that I want to be?' As you get older, it's 'How can this football team improve?' While all along getting better along the way.

As a competitor and an athlete, you love that you get to go back and challenge someone, especially the world champs.

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 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.

It's funny, you can get over the win pretty quick and get ready for the next opponent. When you lose, it just eats at you.... What could we have done? What should I have done? All those things. Just part of playing professional sports and sports in general.
