Jonathan Vilma Good Quotations

Whether we like it or not, we are high-profile athletes. We're role models. Kids come up to me all the time to talk and it makes me remember when I was a kid and I got to meet Jerry Rice and how much that meant to me. And how we've got to set a good example.

Ed Reed gave me some good advice when I was still in school. He said, 'Stay all your years at school. Enjoy it. Get the experience out of it, in football and everything else.' That's what I did. And that got me ready for this.

At the beginning, it was a little shaky. That's to be expected with new guys in there. You don't expect them to be all-stars off the bat. Once we settled in, I thought we did a really good job. ... It was just two plays. They cost us 14 points.

They did a good job getting outside and getting to the edge; that's what they wanted to do.

Anything we can salvage from this season would be good for us. With everything that has gone on, to finish in the top 10, that says a lot.

Anybody who likes to play poker, if you want to find a good poker game, you're going to go play. It's not anything where I'm betting the house, like $100,000. You go, kick back, have fun, talk to some of the fans, enjoy it.

They have a good defense, we have a good defense. Baltimore is known for their defense. They pride themselves on stopping the run. They pride themselves on not giving up points.

They have a two-headed monster back there. We just really didn't do a good job getting it done.

It's good to know we're going to be the last one. That makes it that much more special for us. We're going to be in the history books as the last Monday night game on ABC.
