ball ground huge
You don't know how many times I look back and see the ball skipping on the ground because the quarterback is on his back. That makes a huge difference.
above ball balls catch far head keeps pick wrong
I can't go too far above my head because of it. It keeps me from going in the wrong direction. I can still catch balls and pick the ball off.
ball came gave guy looked signal
Right before the play started, we looked at each other, gave a little signal to 'in-and-out' those two guys. My guy came in, his guy went out. We switched. The ball came to me.
afraid ball cross goal hoping knew
I was afraid that it went out of the end zone, but I really wasn't sure. All I knew was that he got me right before I got to the pylon, so I was hoping the ball didn't cross the goal line.
ball catch pick
I can still pick the ball up, catch the ball things like that. It's not too bad.
ball loved running staying
I loved staying under the heat. When it's cold, I love to see them running the ball and controlling the clock.
confuse hard
We try to confuse you as much as we can. I think it's hard for a quarterback.
concerned great help missed players shows sitting team
(The streak) is important and it shows accountability but at the same time, I'm not really concerned with it. There's a lot of great players that have missed a lot of games, so I'm not concerned with that. It's just (that) I want to be out there to help my team win, and I know I can't do anything sitting on the sidelines.
overcome time year
I've never had a year like this, ... This is the first time I've had to overcome this many at one time.
coach core correct guys obviously run
Things are a little different ... The way the organization is run is a lot different, but who's to say the correct way to run it? It's stable. There's not a lot of in and out. You know who the coach is. You know who the core guys are. I thought I was one of the core guys there, but obviously I got out of there.
aware football help risks
They always give you the things that could happen, the risks you take. At the same time, I'm aware of that and I don't really care. I just want to play football and help us win.
fall felt fine leg
The way it felt then, I thought my leg was going to fall apart, ... I'm fine now.
guarantee looking sure wrong
And you look at what you did wrong because I guarantee you they're going to know everything we did wrong. The opportunities they missed. . . . I'm sure they're looking at that.
finger
There's not one thing that you can put your finger on.
