• Everybody knows you're going to miss some. It's just the reality and the probability of it. It's the ultimate paradox for a kicker.

The saying is now proverbial, often with a form like "the squeaky wheel gets the grease."

• I'm doing the exact same thing and adding a little bit more flexibility. I'm going to bench here. I'm not a kicker who's just going to hang out at practice. I'm going to be in the weight room pushing linebackers, defensive ends, tight ends. I'm going to push everyone. whatever I'm doing, I'm putting up numbers that someone else would do. Not only do I love working out, but at the same time it's able for others to maximize their potential.
