great talked
It was a great play by me. I made the play, but it was something we'd talked about the whole game.
knows mess played respect talk whistle
I know him very well. I played with him two years in college. We'll talk and mess around. I respect his game, but he knows when that whistle blows, it doesn't matter. We are going at each other's throats.
job talk
I'm doing my job, doing it well. I'm going to keep doing it, and I'm going to talk about it.
backyard everybody felt forget job kicking shy speaking sure talk
I'm sure they will. We'll be in their backyard and they'll forget what I said. Everybody said it. And I'm not going to shy away from speaking my mind. I mean, I felt like I was kicking their (butt) so I just said it. . . . I say that about everybody. If I'm doing my job and doing it well, then I'm going to talk about it.
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.
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.
