definitely fear gets guy opens passing puts
It opens up the passing game, ... When a guy gets open that early, it definitely puts fear into their hearts.
definitely drastic expecting good guys half home improve last lose minds offense proud realize record step steps year
We realize our offense got a lot of guys back, and we've done a lot of things to improve our defense, ... We were 8-8 last year. We need to step up from there. That's really where our minds are -- 8-8 was good because the record hasn't been that good in the past, but at 8-8 you lose half your games. That's nothing to write home about, nothing to be proud of. We're definitely expecting to take drastic steps from last year into this year.
eerie feeling felt
It was just a weird, eerie feeling in the stadium. It was something I've never felt before.
ended sure
I'm not sure how many catches T.J. ended up having, but he ended up being the go-to guy.
asked
It's coming, and I keep getting asked the question,
ask best compete guy receiver tough wants
They compete over who's going to have a better game. You can't ask for more than that as a quarterback. You've got one guy who wants to play better than the best receiver in the league. That's a tough combination to defend.
against blowing giving great job move open phenomenal plenty pocket room step throws
They did a phenomenal job of blowing open the pocket and giving me plenty of room to step into throws and move around. Now they know it's on them again. They're going against a great D line.
everybody work
We just wanted to come out and be crisp, ... We wanted to get our work in, get in and get out and keep everybody healthy.
bright gold notice teeth
What? That wasn't Chad? Man, I should have something when I didn't notice any gold teeth gleaming back at me. But, on the bright side, the more Johnsons, the better.
When you play a championship team, you can't give them anything,
complete consistency eliminate high limits stay
Complete 80-85. Don't set limits for yourself. The ones we really want to eliminate are the ones he completes to the other team. Then show the consistency to stay at a high level.
far freedom given job last
I've been given a lot of freedom as far as that's concerned, but no more freedom than I had last year, ... It's the quarterback's job to get you in the right play. That's just part of my role. If anything, I'm just more experienced doing it.
funk mistakes
That's what the preseason's for, to get all the mistakes and the funk out.
amazing bonus created guy guys huge picks points taken three tons tough
That's why we're 2-0 right now. It's created tons of points and taken points away from teams. We need to keep doing that. It's going to be tough for us because we've got some amazing numbers. We've got one guy with three picks and three guys with a pick in one game, that's a huge bonus for us offensively and defensively.
