That?s the main thing -- staying healthy and staying on the field and helping your team win some games. We know in this game there are going to be some injuries, but you can try to help yourself stay away from that by doing certain things - keeping your body in shape and staying healthy. I think it?ll help me as far as longevity in the game.

I learned a lot from him. But we won a Super Bowl without him -- that's what happens when you have a great team. One goes down, someone steps up and makes plays, and that's what happens with this team.

This is the best I?ve ever felt in my whole life playing football -- in my whole life. Even college, high school, all of that. This is the best I?ve ever felt going into a season.

You follow it up with another Super Bowl. That?s the best way to follow that up. I set big personal goals. I always have my team goals. Those are first. I think my personal goals kick in as the game progresses -- as every game and every play goes on. I have personal goals, but my team goals are first.
