In situations like that, you're really unsure about how you're going to perform, but once I got out there (I was OK), ... Believe me, I've been doing this since I was 6 years old. It's nothing. This is what I do. This is what I get paid to do.

I'm where I wanted to be. Not taking anything away from the Cleveland Browns ... but I'm a Bengal, and I like staying in Cincinnati. It turns out that I got my wish.

I just can handle (difficult times). I've been there before. I know what it takes and I'm prepared to get it going. I'm battle-tested in that area so it's not frustrating at all. It is what it is. I just have to work through it. I don't see no difference, but we're playing some tough teams and we have to find a way to get it done, no excuses.

I know you guys are waiting for this big eruption and it's not going to happen. I'm telling you. That volcano done blew its top a long time ago. It's done. It's done. I'm calm. I'm just ready to work this week.

They've put it together, ... They're on a roll. They're tough to stop. We just have to play a perfect game and see what happens.

They were winning Super Bowls without me, ... There's no pressure on me to come in and have the weight of trying to carry the load.

I've got enough yards to last me a lifetime. Right now, it's just about doing whatever I can to help this team win. I'm just going to finish strong.

It is what it is. You have to take advantage when opportunity presents itself.

It is special, and the last two years have been the best of my career and, hopefully, they get better. I am enjoying the ride. I play with a great bunch of guys, a great owner, great coaches and I'm just happy I am here.

There really is no pressure on me because the team was basically set and they were winning Super Bowls without me,
