expect good half last next week
You know what to expect from him every week. You don't get a different quarterback. You see some quarterbacks go out there and play great, and then the next week they go out there and they don't play half as good as the last week. So I like that.
close push running shooting sure trying
(I was) just running around, not trying to push it too much, ... Just wanted to make sure I get through the day healthy. That's what I'm shooting for right now. I feel close to where I want to be. Not there yet, but close to where I want to be.
good shot spot
just a good shot right on the right spot in the rib cage.
believed nobody season
I said it before the season and I believed it. I said this was a championship-level team. We believed that, even if nobody else did.
caught last learn obvious week
We've got to learn how to finish. It was obvious last week we didn't get it done. This week, it snuck up on us. It caught up with us.

finally fortunate run throw year
We finally got a quarterback that didn't throw it away. We got to him. That's what we've been doing all year but we just had quarterbacks that just run out of there and throw it away. We hadn't been fortunate enough to get those sacks, but we got them today.
closer last
I feel closer to playing, closer to being able to play. Last week, I couldn't.
bit
I feel a little bit better, and I did a little bit more than yesterday.
care guy work
These guys, I don't think they really care about numbers, all they care about is winning. They work well together. You never know who is going to be the guy to get the most catches. It's a different guy every week.
game nfl study throw
You can study as much as you want, but you really don't know. This is the guy's (Nick Saban's) first NFL game so you don't know what he's going to throw at you.
bit chance mess pain percent quite smart throughout totally worse
If I can walk, there's a 90 percent chance I'm going to be out there, but I've got to be smart about it, ... I don't want to mess this thing up any worse than it can be. If I can't do things I want to do, then I won't go. But if I can do quite a bit of the things I can do, then I will. I won't say that I have to be totally 100 percent. I'm going to be in pain throughout the year, anyway. So why not play through this if I can?
chance percent
If I can walk, there's a 90 percent chance I'm going to be out there,
definitely shift tried
If I had, I would have tried to shift into another gear, but I don't think I had one. But I definitely thought I was there.
