We knew coming in that we wanted to throw the ball more, ... It's like a building block for things that we are going to have to be able to do down the road.

My job is to lead this team, ... We knew it was going to be a battle and a challenge. We made some mistakes, but we had each other's backs when we need to have it and pulled through.

No one thought we could win this game except for the guys in that locker room. We knew if we wanted a chance to win, we had to come out firing on all cylinders.

We knew this was going to be a battle. The fans and (the media) are the ones (who thought otherwise).
believe coaching coming credit knew last special staff team year
I knew that we had a pretty special team coming into this year and I just had to play my part and get better and do better than I did last year. The development has been a big thing. I've come a long way. We've come a long way as a team and I think that is a credit to the coaching staff and the players. We believe in what we do.
confidence football game good guys job knew plan ready regular season today
I had confidence in the guys and I had confidence in myself. I knew that when the regular season got here, and we were ready to go out and game plan and really play football when it mattered, we'd be OK. I think today we showed that we did a pretty good job - especially on offense.
ball close decide grabbed knew leg luckily reaction saw slow sudden turned watch
I turned to watch him get in the end zone. All of a sudden I see the ball just go flying. My first reaction is just to go get it, but I knew I wasn't going to get there in time, so then it's let's try and slow him down. I think I turned him enough times that he got close to me and he couldn't decide which way to go, so now I just saw his leg and grabbed it, and luckily he went down.
anybody bounce hopefully stronger team
We have to bounce back. If anybody is questioning themselves, they don?t need to be out here. I think this team will bounce back strong, hopefully stronger than ever. We have to; there?s no question.
against close felt playing sync
When you play in the preseason, you don't game-plan. You're playing against yourself, really. I just felt like we were really close to being in sync and being really good.

We love playing for him because of his excitement and the energy that he brings to the table.
We've come a long way as a team.
brain guys last mature patience rely
You have to be mature doing what I do. These guys want to see a leader, not someone immature. I rely on my brain a little more than last year. It's a patience thing.
