I'm going to go in and play, because the most important thing is playing on the field and being able to contribute. I really am ready.

I hope to play well and get better and better.

I just go out there every game and try to be the best I can be for our team.

I'm just here to compete and do the best I can and let things play out and just be the best teammate I can be, regardless of the situation.

I think everybody has to be better, right from me out. Everybody has to step up their games for us to be successful here. I've been lucky to be on some good teams over the years and that's what it takes, everybody contributing night after night.

I hope I'm building a record of being a good team player and not just standing for my principles but being willing to work for them. I think when you do that and you work really hard, people take notice.

I'm just thinking about being the best I can be for the team first because that's what comes first.

I'll practice as good as I can, but I know that I play even better, with the qualities I have - leadership, my ability to make something happen in games, winning.

I want to be one of the guys, but I also want to be 'the' guy, the guy that can go out there and they can rely on in crunch time. I'm going to be the guy that they know will show up every day, every game, every play and show up on a consistently great level.

I'm going to prove to the fans, going to prove to my teammates, that I can be a better defensive player, offensive player, to win games.
