    Don't try to overanalyze it, and don't panic. But play better. When you've got a tackle, make it. When you've got to beat a block, beat it. When you get penetration, get (there). And when you need to be in your gap, be where you're supposed to be and be accountable, so that the defense works.

    I'm not disappointed at all. I wake up every day, I've got a beautiful wife, I've got a (baby) coming in three months, and I play in the National Football League. So every day is a sunny day to me. Believe me when I tell you that.
