I'm trying to do what the President said and only get it when I need it. But I think I need it.

As soon as I catch it, I've got to tuck it, ... but the guy just made a good play.

It is a distraction, ... But I won't let it bother me. ... I can't do anything about it. I can just do my job, and if I get shipped out of here, then it's out of my hands.

I wouldn't have believed this, but it happened today, so we've got to get better and move on.

My neck's doing good. The motion is there. The pain is pretty much wearing away. I want to be safe about it, but I'm ready.

Give me a break. Jerome Bettis had those same numbers in a game last year, and ended up with two touchdowns. But, never fear. The NFL is all about improvement. Sunday, against the Bengals, I plan to reach negative one yard in half the number of carries.

My goal is zero (fumbles), ... and I had two in one game. That's very uncharacteristic of myself. But I've got to be perfect. I can't make mistakes.

It looks like [Tice] wants to move in that direction this first week, and that's fine, ... You play until you get tired, and then you tap out and the next guy comes in. I'm not going to have a problem with that for now.

Fumbles are something I pride myself on not doing, ... My goal is zero. The season just started, and I got two in one game. Now I've got to go back and redo my goals.
