I think so. But Darren also taught me a lot. Him being a Pro Bowl player and being to the top of the league in the safety position was good for me last year to come in here and see how he does things and see his work ethic,

We just had a talk at the Pro Bowl I think the year after he came back. We kind of laughed it off. It was just part of the game.

You'd like to have three or four deep at each position, and a Pro Bowl player on the first team and a backup Pro Bowl player on the second team and so forth. It's just, there's not that many; the good Lord didn't make that many good tackles in the world.

When I signed the deal, I wasn't a Pro Bowl player, ... To go to four straight Pro Bowls, you deserve some type of raise. They said, 'Come into camp and we'll continue negotiations,' and that's why I'm here.

Ray Lewis has done it, been in the Super Bowl, been in some Pro Bowls, so I think Jonathan Vilma kind of looks at him as a former Miami player and understands he has some attributes like Ray. Now it's just a matter of him playing to that level. As he progresses and becomes better, he has that potential.

Sometimes do I think it was unjust? Yeah, but I can think about it all I want - it (isn't) going to change what's going on this year. I'm trying to put all that stuff as far away from my mind as I can possibly get it and just move on and try to prosper in this new year.
