I definitely take pride in being able to contribute to the team every day in practice. But I'm ready to put this role behind me.

We take pride in going out and working hard at practice. We enjoy being around each other, so it'll be a whole different environment. It'll be a whole different game.

There's a lot of pride at stake, even in our practice matches, ... I'm really impressed with how hard they are working. There is a lot of good competition at practice, and that helps us stay tough.

I take pride in practice. I don't show up like practice is practice; I show up to get better. Every practice and every game I'm learning something. But I won't be satisfied until I'm the best player in the world.

Criminal investigations is very important to Rickey. He has worked in it for many years, and he has taken pride in solving numerous homicides and serious crimes. And now, he's being denied the opportunity to use his training and experience in a way that is most beneficial to the department.

I believe we're ready. We've picked it up in practice a lot. Our intensity in practice has shot up and we're playing for each other, and we're making sure we're not going to back down.
