defense fun mistakes played playing watching
Our defense is all over the place, and it's so much fun watching them play. Offensively, we haven't played mistake-free football, but we've been playing well and we're going to have to keep doing that if we want to go to where we want to go.
gets guy guys inspired losing offense played
He's the guy who gets them going, ... I think they probably played even more inspired when he went down. They started losing guys on offense and defense, and we didn't take advantage.
fuel hard helped high learned played receiver ultimately until wide
There will always be hard times. Use adversity to fuel your fire. In high school, I wanted to play quarterback but couldn't until I was a senior. I played wide receiver instead, and this ultimately helped me because I learned more about the game.
definitely last motivation played teammates
I was disappointed with how I played last year. That's definitely motivation for me this time. I don't want to let my teammates down.
ball last played threw time turn win
The last time we played them at home, we threw a lot more. I think if we don't turn the ball over, then we probably win that game. So if it comes down to that, I think we can (win).
knock knocked rust
Indianapolis misunderstood me. I said I wanted to knock the rust off, but they knocked the rust off.
feeling heart losing sticks
I know the feeling of losing and disappointment and I don't want to feel that again. That feeling in your heart ... it just sticks with you.
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.
mentally prepared step sure thrown time trying
I'm just trying to take it one step at a time and be better prepared for everything that is thrown my way and just making sure mentally that I'm sharp.
football last mistake nervous win
I'm more comfortable now. Last year, it was kind of 'Oh my gosh, I'm so nervous and scared, here we go. Don't make a mistake.' I'm not going to go out and play not to make a mistake this year. I'm going to go out to win football games.
balanced coming couple last prove season stops throw throwing won
Everyone always said coming into the end of the season that if we had to throw the ball, if someone stops the run, then we won't be able to win. But in the last couple games, we have won by throwing the ball. We can prove that we are a balanced offense.
against card disrespect everybody good media teams underdog wants
Everybody wants you to play the underdog card or the disrespect card. That's for the media. We don't disrespect them, and they are not favoring us. This is two good teams going against each other.
job people
Once again, people said we couldn't win. But we just went in there, did our job and won.
blue happened
Once in a blue moon, Jerome fumbles. Once in a blue moon, I make a tackle. They just happened to be in the same game.
