What this means, see, is someone who can make plays is actually getting the chance to do that. From the start.
“The ball’s in my court for the first time,” says Curry, entering his sixth season. “It’s mine to lose and not mine to take. All the years before I had to go out there and perform to get playing time. Now if I don’t perform, it’s on me.”

David Doesn’t Fall Short
May 24, 2007
New Orleans Saints wide receiver Marques Colston towered over newly acquired Jason David at the line of scrimmage in the cornerback’s first team session this week.The 6-foot-3, 220-pound Colston looked down at David, a 5-8, 180-pound cornerback. It’s a problem David has to overcome every time he stares across the line at a bigger, more physical pass catcher.
“I kind of feel like a rookie all over again and that’s in all cases,” David said. “I come in here to play and I’ve got something to prove. As far as the playbook goes, it’s a lot different than what I’m accustomed to and what we ran in Indianapolis. I’ve got to get used to the language and the terminology around here.”

Hawkins Flashing Potential
May 18, 2007
Brent Hawkins admits there was a time in his life when he was “young and dumb.” That’s when Hawkins left Purdue after two years because he didn’t believe he was receiving enough playing time, then tried junior-college basketball for a year before finishing his football career at Illinois State.
“Wow, I was stupid,” Hawkins said Thursday after the Jaguars wrapped up a week of offseason drills. “They were treating me fine. I was blaming it on the coaches, but it was my first year playing defensive end, and I still had to learn.”

Who is Jason David?
May 1, 2007
Ask any professional football players who have participated in a Super Bowl about their favorite memories of the game and most will speak of game-winning touchdowns, momentum-crushing interceptions, or the thrill of lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy after the game. But for New Orleans Saints’ cornerback Jason David, his greatest moment didn’t even happen on the field during Super Bowl XLI in Miami while playing for the Indianapolis Colts.
“I would say it was at halftime when we were up by two points going into the locker room. It just seemed appropriate that the game was close like that,” said the three-year NFL veteran. “Come halftime, everyone just looked around and said we had 30 minutes left to a championship. Those are the things I’ll remember. Not playing the game on the field, but looking in my teammates’ eyes and seeing the determination of everyone going after the same thing.”
