Renaldo Wynn Quotations

We were already rotating a lot before we signed Andre. I'll go to camp with the mentality that I'm still the starter, but I know I'm going to get a lot of snaps whether I start or not.

Silent Assassin,' that's pretty much what he is. Because he's coming out of nowhere. He's consistent. You can depend on him. People had a question mark at that position after Antonio Pierce left. He's stepped in and done an excellent job.

Situations that last year went the other way, we're getting to go our way this time.

Moments like that you never forget. And I'll never forget this Dallas moment.

Obviously, he made a heck of a play. But all I know is when we got to the sidelines the coaches were saying we have to tackle better. That's two weeks in a row that big plays and missed tackles have cost us.

Whatever way I can be a part of the team, whether it's with morale, leadership or helping guys behind the scenes, then I'm going to do that.

Guys are hungry, man. Don't get me wrong, this is a great accomplishment, but I still see the hunger.

He's been a professional about it. He's out there working hard, doing what the coaches ask him. He's supportive of his teammates.

It hurts, but I'll be there on Sunday.

It feels good, doesn't it? Are the fans not going to buy as many papers?

I think the thing that has separated us is that we feel like we've been in a playoff game the last five games. That's been our mentality because it's been do or die. Everyone has had tunnel vision. No blinders, no distractions. It's the same type of situation this week.

The preparation is unbelievable. You learn how to watch film from a different prospective.

We're a team. That's the key--every guy, on offense, defense and special teams--we all play as a team. Everybody came together and did our part. You want to make sure everything is clicking at this time of year. Right now, it feels like we're running on all cylinders.

We've got a lot of Dallas fans, even in D.C.. I've been here four years, and I've just been getting sick and tired of hearing about it, what they're going to do. So you don't even know how enjoyable it was for us to get this win and get a sweep. It hadn't happened since '95. It's unbelievable. It's something I'll definitely remember.

We kind of shot ourselves in the foot. Obviously, we missed a lot of opportunities. It's been a tale of the tape ever since we started.

Definitely, no doubt about it, this was the biggest game. Not only did we keep ourselves in the thick of things, but it's a division game. It's in our home place, it's the Giants. What other way would we want to have it? To get a win the day before Christmas, go home, spend time with our families.

That's what we always talk about--your teammates being able to trust you, your coaches being able to trust you. I don't ever want there to be an instant where they doubt they can count on me. Especially being a nine-year vet--you want to be accountable. You have to be accountable to the team and yourself.

You're behind the 8-ball when you're learning a new defense every year. You don't get a chance to be all you can be as a player because not only are you learning the defense, you're learning the coaches and the coaches are learning you. This year, everyone knows what to expect from each other. We've passed the dating process. Now we're living together.

This is pretty much for the marbles right here. The more you win, each game becomes that much more important. And right now, this is the biggest game.

This makes it so sweet. I remember talking to Derrick Brooks after the first Tampa game, and he said, 'We'll see you guys in the playoffs.' And I don't think he knew how true that was going to be, that we were going to actually see them in the first wild-card game.

As you get older, you see the big picture more. It wasn't about the money or the playing time with Jerome. It's not about that for me either. It's about winning the ring.

It just happened so fast. My hand got jammed in an awkward spot. I knew as soon as it happened that it was definitely broken.

It's unfortunate, but injuries do happen. Another quality guy was very much needed. We got a guy in Andre who can fit in with us and make us a better defense, a better team. Competition makes everybody better. My main thing is winning the Super Bowl. If this helps us get there, I'm all for it.

That's a benefit. I can play inside on third down and outside on first and second down.

It's been kind of strange, really. A lot of missed opportunities. We're getting our hands on the ball, and we've just got to come up with it and just make it happen. It's not something that's going to happen unless we make it happen. It's an attitude, and we've got to continue working at it, and sooner or later it's going to open up like a floodgate.

It's a new era. Guys have that taste in their mouths. Guys are starting to believe. It's an electricity, from top to bottom.

They won the championship. It had been a long time since they won it, so I want to kind of get a little bit of that powder over here.

I'm sure they're going to try to come at us with those same kind of things.

In past years, guys were racing out the door trying to get out of here. Now it's almost a shock that the season is over. We really believed we could take this thing all the way.

He's got a fire to him. He's out there just blowing people up.

The first time I heard it, I was like, 'Are you kidding me?'? Randy gets so emotional with the explicit lyrics and crying, the whole nine yards. He wants everybody to hear it. Some guys probably want to slap him a little bit. Other guys enjoy it. It doesn't bother me. He gives me a little comic relief.
