Every rep I can get is valuable.

I care about winning ball games.

I was in New England in 2007 for Spygate.

Teams really take into account character.

Everybody wishes they were better at golf.

Everything works out in weird ways in the NFL.

I love the Patriots. I love this organization.

My rookie year in New England was mind-blowing.

You never want to lose but it happens in the NFL.

Personally, I always loved the 1 p.m. Sunday games.

I hope to do the 'Letterman' show, 'Leno,' all that.

I work really hard and I take great pride in what I do.

Any time you get a bye week you embrace it as a player.

I've always pushed myself and taken great pride in what I do.

It's been a childhood dream of mine to be a Cowboy, honestly.

My preparation doesn't change from being a backup to a starter.

I'm not trying to be Tom Brady. I'm just trying to be Matt Cassel.

Even if you're in a backup role, you've always got to prepare yourself.

I have tunnel vision. I go out and try to get better each and every day.

The weather is the weather. You have to deal with whatever is out there.

There are guys throughout the NFL that get the chance one way or the other.

I don't think there's anybody that puts more pressure on himself than I do.

As you get going in the game you just kind of go along and you play the game.

I have big hopes and big dreams and aspirations to do great things in the NFL.

Honestly, I have no ill will toward Kansas City or anything that happened here.

With every look I can get and every defense I play against I get more experience.

Goal line is goal line. You go down there and it's the grit and grind of the game.

I am just saying people can be successful even though they might not be well known.

You never know from week to week how one team is going to attack you versus another team.

There was a time when I thought, 'God, this whole football thing might not work out for me.'

As a quarterback, you have to go out and take care of the ball. That is your No. 1 priority.

You learn, across the league, with very successful quarterbacks, nobody does it by themselves.

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.

Any time you can come down and score on your first drive, that's what you're trying to accomplish.

I've said this time and time again: Dante Scarnecchia is the best offensive line coach in the NFL.

Every week you go in and hope that you have production in the passing game and also in the running game.

I think the toughest job in football is always to be the starter, because everybody looks to you for guidance.

Anytime you can get the ball in the receiver's hands with some space, you let their natural abilities take over.

As long as anybody plays this game, you never master it because there are so many things that are always changing.

Unfortunately, I've been around a lot of organizations over my 14-year career that have dealt with off-field issues.

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.

Without a lot of college film, a lot of people had written me off already. When the Patriots called, I was pretty happy.

Your leader on the offensive line is your center, because the communication really takes place between him and quarterback.

When I go home, I love to play the 'Tiger Woods' game with my brothers. It's always fun to sit there for a few hours and play.

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 been through a lot in my career. I've been through the ups, I've been through the downs. I've been through the highs and the lows.

At first when I first went to the Chiefs, there was a huge transition from what we had done in New England to a team that was rebuilding.

The hardest part sometimes is when you don't get the reps and you continue to push yourself to learn and understand what's really going on.

There are a lot of things that you learn as a rookie and you grow the most, I would say as a rookie from your first year to your second year.
