Actually, my goal in 2002 was to make the Pro Bowl, ... My goal this season was to be the best defensive lineman in the NFL.

I knew I popped something [the first time]. Not only did I feel the pop, I heard the pop. I could feel something not there in my knee. I didn't know it was a torn ACL, but I knew I did something. It kind of felt like when you wake up in the morning and you feel like your leg is asleep.

hit 'em in the mouth.

That's not for me to say. My job is to play, ... I'd like to be the best. I want to be the best. I'm just going to do what I can to separate myself from everybody else.

In no way, shape or form did I expect him [Sapp] to pick us to win the game, ... That surprised me.

I want a big, greasy chicken-eatin' dude in there who will keep the quarterback from stepping up. That way I can work my rush around the edge.
