along ball coming healed hopefully normally painful quite spin throws
There are still some throws it's still painful with and I don't quite have the zip I normally do or the spin on the ball but it's coming along and hopefully we'll get it healed up soon.
area beautiful best good great guy heath inside knack pocket strong tight
I would say that when Heath is at his best is when we get inside the 20-yard line. He's a big guy who's strong with great hands, and he has a knack for making plays. When you area quarterback and you get out of the pocket and are scrambling around and you can find a 6-foot-5 tight end with beautiful hands, it's a good thing.
anxious best control dan enjoy focused nervous stay stayed sure talked
I talked to Dan Marino. He told me to stay focused and that I'd get butterflies and be nervous and that there would be anxious feelings, but to make sure I stayed under control and not let it get the best of me. He said to enjoy it, have fun, because you never know if it's going to come back.
experience good hurt lack mean talk
I always talk about how I feel I can be a better quarterback, but just because I feel like I'm more experienced and better doesn't mean I'm going to play better. You'd like to think so. But with Carson as their quarterback, and as good as he is, I don't think their lack of experience will hurt them too much.
held high
He is going to be held to a very high standard,
stay
We're going to stay loose. We're going to have our fun.
execute game picture plan together work
We're going to put together our first game plan and, hopefully, come out and execute it, ... The big thing is, we want to work on the little things. If we can put the little things together, the big picture will come together and, hopefully, it will be pretty nice.
coach pound whatever
We're going to go out and pound the ball. Whatever coach has in store.
When we game-plan, I think we'll be lot more dangerous.
dreamt receiver senior until
To play receiver and not play quarterback until my senior year, I never thought I'd be in this situation. I always wanted to be here and dreamt about it as a kid, but I never thought it would happen.
fans knew
We knew this was going to be a battle. The fans and (the media) are the ones (who thought otherwise).
role underdogs
We know we're going to be the underdogs and we probably like that role a little more.
ourselves people pick
We still see ourselves as the underdogs. We always have. If people want to pick us, they can.
best coming imagine playing super
When you think about the Super Bowl, you imagine yourself coming and playing your best football, and it wasn't that way.
