00:00 I remember coming to this league, I don't know, 12 years ago,

00:03 and my goal was to play to over 40 plus.

00:06 So I feel great, I feel great, I feel young, I feel fast, I feel confident,

00:10 all of the above.

00:11 But when you're around a great group of young stars around here,

00:16 it always keeps you young.

00:16 I still got a little speed, I still got quickness.

00:20 So I think the biggest thing is just when you have a plan,

00:26 you set out to it, I set out to it a long time ago.

00:29 I think that it's a lifestyle, it's a 365 day mentality.

00:34 There are no off days, you don't have optionality on trying to be great every

00:38 day, I think that's just gotta be your mentality.

00:41 So I think every day I get up and make sure I move around,

00:45 keep my body moving, working out and everything else.

00:48 And that's the part, and I think the biggest thing is I got an obsession and

00:52 a passion for the game, learning the game, playing the game,

00:56 being out there winning all the above.

00:58 And that's the part that makes it fun.

00:59 Well, I think that's part of the reason why I always tell you guys about,

01:03 talk about being neutral.

01:04 I just really believe it.

01:05 I've gone through some of the highest, best moments,

01:08 gone through a couple lows.

01:10 I think that you just be even kill and understand that you keep working.

01:13 It's all about the work, it's all about the passion,

01:15 it's all about the love of the game, it's all about the detail.

01:17 And then what happens is that when you do have success, it normalizes for you.

01:22 You understand that that's who we're destined to be, that's who we are,

01:25 that's who we can be.

01:27 And I think the best part about it is everybody starts believing it and

01:31 knowing it and seeing it and feeling it.

01:33 So I think that's what we've have been experiencing so far.

01:36 And we haven't done anything yet, though.

01:38 We got a lot more work to do, a lot more football left.

01:40 And we believe in each other, we believe in ourselves.

01:43 And I think the best part is I think each guy individually believes in themselves.

01:46 >> Two more for us, please.
