figured instead staying switched
We figured they'd try it again, and they did. Only this time, instead of staying with our men, we switched off.
ahead create definitely lose stay
There are a lot of things at stake. They're undefeated. If we lose this game, we'll get behind, and that's something you don't want to create in your division. You definitely want to stay ahead of the game.
chance definitely feels game good home stay worry
When you get a chance to play a game like this at home, you definitely want that opportunity. It feels good to be able to stay at home and not worry about travel.
coverage guy mug skills speed stay true valuable value
That's not true at all. The value has risen. Think about it. If you can't mug a guy down the field, isn't it more valuable to have the speed and coverage skills to stay with him?
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.
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.
finger
There's not one thing that you can put your finger on.
