I know what I'm about. My teammates know, my family knows, everything else, I can't worry about.

Early in the year, you never know how teams are going to be.

Sometimes getting hit in the mouth ain't all bad. It can even make you respond in the right way.

We know there are a lot of ups and downs to the season.

To me, the preseason is the most over-analyzed 10 plays or whatever it is - ever.

To me, the most fun games are where we get in the no-huddle, we get in kind of a groove and the defense has a Mike linebacker who can go no-huddle with you.

You can find rumors on anything on the Internet. I think I could even find rumors on the Internet that I get too worked up in games.

Sometimes you have long work days. Sometimes you have to be on the road a lot. But when you're home, be home.

I like being one of the guys.

It's always good to get back in game action.

There are certain things you can't coach, you've got to watch a guy do it.

All the valuable lessons I learned from my dad, little questions to big, and that's what I want my children to do.

If I'm healthy and the Chargers still want me to hang around, I'm going to go until they tell me to get out.

If you are not nervous for your first NFL game, then something is probably wrong with you.

I remember asking my mom, 'Can you be the quarterback and the drum major at halftime?' I mean it's like, what in the world? I wanted to go play quarterback, and I wanted to lead the band. I don't know how old I was but I vaguely remember asking them that.

Peyton's always a favorite. It is special to look over and say, 'Peyton Manning is leading that team over there.' That's special to me.

I don't if I can handle not being on the sideline and being part of a team trying to win a football game on Friday nights.

You want to be awesome in Qualcomm.

I can't imagine ever not having a team, being a part of a team trying to win a game.

I want to coach my boys and coach those boys that are 15 to 18 years old.

There's something about that 15- to 18-year-old boy, the time of their life that you can really impact them, not only on the field but off the field and still get the competitiveness that I love.

I used to struggle mentally in these preseason games because you know you're not going to be in there long.

I've always watched the Hall of Fame speeches. Thought about what I would talk about if I ever was up there. But I don't wake up in the morning thinking about wanting to be in the Hall of Fame. I really don't.

It doesn't eat at me. As a competitor, it drives you. It's hard to say this without someone saying, 'Golly, he doesn't care that much.' I want to win a championship for our team, for our organization. I want us to win one bad. But do I lose sleep over it? Or would I be miserable one day if I never did it? The answer is no.

The practice days, the walkthroughs, the bus rides - all those things you can't come back to. When you are getting into Year 15, you think about it. This thing is going to come to an end at some point.

Good or bad day, or good play or bad play, or whatever it is. You have a chance to get back up and begin again, It's something that's really stuck with me.

It's kind of fun to be in a little scuffle.

Shoot, I go to work. That's what we're built to do. I know it's work and it's play - but it's my job and I love doing it.

My faith, my family and this football is more than I could ever imagine as an 8-year-old little boy.

We can only control what we can control.

There's no question I'm responsible for some of the plays and some of the games we haven't won. I'm not going to shy away from that.

You don't want to play the whole game careful, but you certainly don't want to play careless.

I hate not practicing.

The numbers don't always tell the whole story.

As bad as I want to be a Charger, I want to play.

I don't want to sacrifice and be a backup to be a Charger. That's not something I want to do or I'm going to do.

Shoot, if you need any added motivation, the first thing is you have to be a pro to play this game and finish it right.

When I'm disciplined with my drop and my footwork, I usually throw it pretty good. And when I'm a little bit off, or a little careless in that manner and not dead on to where I'm supposed to be, I'm not as good. So that's one thing - just being disciplined in my drops and my footwork.

It has been very special to be a San Diego Charger.

Time can make things better.

There's a fine line between being careful and careless.

Football is one of the most popular sports in the country, and there are many reasons for this. You can take so much from football and apply it to life in general. Just some of those things are goal-setting, preparation, teamwork, perseverance and discipline.

If you knew what you were doing, that it would hinder you, you wouldn't do it.

Once I've received the Eucharist, then I'm prepared to go out and play.

You never want to see someone not at their best.

Cool under pressure can be misinterpreted. I'm fired up, but in my mind, I'm calm. Here comes the next play, hurry up, let's go.

Life is too short to just go through the motions.

You want our team to have the best chance to win.

When it stops being fun, that's when I'll stop playing.

First thing, and it's really one of my favorite things, is the protection part. Who everybody is blocking and where the pressure is coming from. Because if we can't get the ball off, it doesn't matter what you're doing out here.
