Big players have to show up in big games -- and this is a big game.

With all the moving around, all the ins and outs. We are here for a week, there for a week. It is just hard to concentrate on football when you have so much going on in your life. It has been truly a long and frustrating year.

It's been a long year. I can honestly say yeah [I'm glad the season is over] because it has truly been a long and frustrating year.

It was one of their pitches (during free agent visits). The same kind of big guy, the same hard-nosed runner. We have no choice. We've got to make it go.

All for naught. That's the way I look at it. I can't dwell on things I did well in the game, knowing that one play kind of cost us the game, even though it happened before halftime. In my mind I still go back to that one play.

We've heard so much Bon Jovi this year. When we anticipate crowd noise, he'll bring it out. We put on the Bon Jovi and we go out there and go to work to it. Matter of fact, I got a couple favorite tunes too, man. I kind of became a Bon Jovi fan this year.
