Unfortunately, I've been around a lot of organizations over my 14-year career that have dealt with off-field issues.
I was in New England in 2007 for Spygate.
My rookie year in New England was mind-blowing.
Personally, I always loved the 1 p.m. Sunday games.
I've said this time and time again Dante Scarnecchia is the best offensive line coach in the NFL.
Your leader on the offensive line is your center, because the communication really takes place between him and quarterback.
I'm not trying to be Tom Brady. I'm just trying to be Matt Cassel.
Honestly, I have no ill will toward Kansas City or anything that happened here.
Any time you can come down and score on your first drive, that's what you're trying to accomplish.
You can't play scared.
You can't play tentative.
I have tunnel vision. I go out and try to get better each and every day.
I don't think there's anybody that puts more pressure on himself than I do.
Nobody knows the future.
I love the Patriots. I love this organization.
Anytime we can get the running game going it is a plus for me and it makes my job a lot easier.
I collected baseball and football cards. My most valuable was probably a Mark McGwire rookie card.
You always have to be thinking about your opportunity. You always have to be ready.
When I was a kid, we used to play 'Madden' and 'NCAA Football' all the time. I have two brothers, so we grew up on these games.
I've got a model wife.
Everything works out in weird ways in the NFL.
I never had a car in high school or college.
Competition brings out the best in everybody.
My father grew up in West Texas, in Lubbock, and I've got family here, and I grew up a Dallas Cowboy fan all my life.
