You get frustrated when you don’t win and when you’re not successful. You have to keep battling. You don’t give up. You don’t start second guessing yourself.

I worry about what we got, … I worry about what we got to work with. I feel real good with the players we have. We got to go out, keep mistakes to a minimum...

They did a great job of causing confusion and stopping the run, and putting guys in position to make plays.

It doesn’t really matter,

Noise has never been a problem for me. It doesn’t bother me one way or the other.

It has been an extremely painful process both physically and emotionally since the injury on October 30th,

It’s all about the next time we get the ball, what we’ve got to do.

We don’t have to search for a different personality. We just have to do what we do.

I played seven years in Minnesota and I’m looking forward to a better, greater seven years down in Miami. I’m back home. It’s great.

He said to me, jokingly and also seriously, that if he had done the surgery 100 times, he didn’t think he could have done it any better. That’s all I really needed to hear.

Some people are saying that. Some of it might be true.

I’ve been playing this position a long time, and I know how to get out of those situations. I was off my rhythm, but it’s not because I was getting hit. I’ve been getting hit...

I am wishing for the absolute best for my teammates this season. I will be their biggest fan. I only wish I could be with them on the field.

That shows I’m not perfect. I’ve just got to keep battling through it,

With his athleticism and foot quickness, to be that big. When he makes his mind up to go, he’s as good as anybody.

We want to start fast,

Please believe me that when this stuff is resolved and the investigation is over I will have something to say,

I have found over the years that people with knowledge of the situation are usually the most ignorant, and anonymous sources are usually synonymous with cowards who don’t want to go on the record. My...

I’m thinking I’m still trying to score on every possession. It would make it a lot easier if we got the ball down in their territory.

I never really thought it would happen. I wish he wasn’t leaving. I really do. But it was out of my hands. Moss never was a negative, as far as football goes. He did his...

Without the turnover it would have been perfect. One thing I’m really excited about that we did, is we came back the next drive and put seven on the board. We’re really happy about that...

Nate has always had a swagger, but I guess you guys are starting to notice it. I’m probably No. 1 or No. 2 in the swagger department. It’s confidence because we work hard to be...

I don’t know him personally, but as a player, he’s a great player. He’s worked very hard to get where he is, obviously, and I wish him the best of luck. That’s what I told...

I should have been on top of communicating better with the receivers.

You still have to be opportunistic. What I mean by that is when the shots are there, we’re going to take them. But when they aren’t, I’m going to check it down and find open...

I give them a lot of credit for getting prepared and focusing on football with everything going on down there. But they understand also that we have a job to do, too. They are not...

I think you’ll see us showing more balance and being able to do even more with the ball.

to just get our minds right.

When you can run the ball, it definitely helps the passing game. The linebackers can’t drop back into their zones as quickly. We’re going to try to start quickly in the running game.

He told me that the Vikings have not yet spoken to other teams about trading me. I shared my disappointment with the lack of communication and the false reports about me demanding more money coming...

When things could go bad, it went bad,

This was a huge win, a huge win, … This win means nothing though if we go down to Carolina and don’t get a victory there.

I was involved with all the plays, … The good thing [about his injury] was I took a lot of mental reps. So I’m prepared.

You always want to be looked at as one of the best, but now it’s about championships, and I haven’t got one. I want to end the year sitting up in Detroit after we’ve won...

Things are looking good. I’m not going to predict, or rush myself … I’m just glad to be making the progress that I’m making and hopefully it continues.

We had early mistakes, and it’s tough to come back from those,

Dr. (James) Andrews recommended a therapist in Orlando, and I’ve got a one-level house here, so I don’t have three different flights (of stairs). There’s also no ice on the ground, because if you slip,...

We wanted to start fast.

It’s good to have momentum. We’ve just got to keep getting better.

We just need to get away from football for a few days and realize what we’ve got here. The thing is, it’s going to take some time. We’ve got a whole new team here when...

When things could go bad, it went bad, … It was almost like a bad episode of ‘The Twilight Zone.

We tried a couple of things throughout the week. It ended up with Coach Tice doing it. Coach Loney was up in the booth, calling plays down. He is always bringing up good ideas and...

Mr. Wilf and I spoke by phone on (Tuesday) and we each shared our concerns about my present situation. He told me that the Vikings have not yet spoken to other teams about trading me....

I didn’t like the way we weren’t paying attention to detail at the end of the game like I know we can and I know we should.

He had a tremendous second half,” Burleson said.

We’re not trying to get just due. That’s not our motive. We want to win the championship because we want to be champions as a team. It has nothing to do with individuality. Nobody on...

A guy that was really close to me is not here, but every year is different. I’m going to approach every day the same. I’m the quarterback, I have a responsibility and nothing has changed...

It wasn’t that I wanted to get out. It’s just, I think, for both sides, it was good for me to move on. Good for the Vikings, too. That’s the way it happened, and I’m...

I promise you our offense will do great things. Anybody that doesn’t believe it, I guess we’ll just have to show them.

It was a textbook win.
