alex coast early great guys obviously offense picks practice pressure puts reason running situation struggle takes three top west
They say it takes two to three years to really get the West Coast offense down. I think that's the reason why a lot of top picks struggle early on - because they don't have the guys around them and the offenses they're running are pretty complex. Obviously Alex is in a situation where they'd like him to play right away, which puts a little more pressure on him. At the same time, I put pressure on myself to be great every day in practice and in the games, and I will be. It's just going to take a little bit.
fans motivates
That's what really motivates me: to make my coaches proud, my teammates proud, and the fans proud.
guys passion people problem seemed telling
There wasn't a lot of passion on the field. I have no problem telling people I didn't think there was a whole lot of passion out there. I thought it seemed like some of the guys were going through the motions.
anyone ball defense dominant drove field game played watched
Anyone who watched the game would see we were the dominant team. We drove the ball up and down the field and our defense played great.
executing game good gotten knowledge matter mostly offense playing
I think after the game it was mostly frustration - not playing as well as I'd like to, not executing like I know I can. You can see in practice, I've had a real good camp. Made a lot of strides, made a lot of plays. I feel like my knowledge of the offense has gotten better each day and I've gotten more and more comfortable. It's just a matter of transferring that into the game.
game plan
I get the same game plan Brett gets,
care guy hard learn means seeing shed tough
He was very emotional. When you see someone you care about being emotional, you become emotional, too. Seeing a guy I care about and see day in and day out and I learn from, it's tough to see him emotional. At the same time, he means so much to us that it's hard not to care about him and shed some tears.
ability although believe desire hope left might
He has nothing left to prove. At the same time, he still has the desire and ability. Although you might not believe me, I hope he comes back.
few goal good happen means
The only thing it means to me is my good pre-season didn't go unnoticed. I've still got to get better each day. My goal is to be No. 1. Obviously, it's not going to happen for a few years.
fun gets shave west
He made fun of me a lot. He made me shave my beard. He gets on me and J.T. (O'Sullivan, another quarterback) for being from the West Coast.
best camp moment
That drive, probably was the best moment of camp for me so far.
draft leverage pick signing
I'll say this: The leverage of having the first pick is in signing your draft pick before the draft,
change ferguson kept telling
I had a dilemma. (Robert) Ferguson kept telling me to change the play in the huddle to a go route. But I couldn't do that.
asked expect fun giving nervous thank
I didn't expect to play at all this season, but I thank Brett for giving us such a big lead, ... Someone asked me if I was nervous before I went in. I was like, 'We're up 45-3, what do I have to be nervous about?' It was a lot of fun out there.
