They keep you energized and excited and fired up, so its been fun, ive really enjoyed not only the young, young guys, the guys born in late 98 when I was in high school, but the guys that are the six- seven- eight-year guys. The Keenans (Allen) and all those guys that youve gotten to see be rookies and now be All-Pro players. So its been a lot of fun.

I'm excited about the opportunity to get out there and show not only what I can do but, more importantly, what this team can do with me in there.

Anybody who has watched me play knows I'm not one of the fastest guys, but I understand what's going on around me and what to look for. I know what the defense is doing.

What I can control and all I know as of today, I am signed up for one more year...I guess things could change, but with all the uncertainty in many aspects, I don't see (his decision not to sign an extension) changing before camp gets here, and when camp gets here I'm even more certain to play it out.

What we've established (in San Diego) with my growing family is hard to re-create. It's hard to up and re-create that. I know that moves are part of life. But that certainty is fair to say that (not being sold on moving to Los Angeles) is part of it. The good thing is I'm not under contract in a year where we'd potentially be in Los Angeles.
