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?
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.
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.
ben credit giving ran sticking
I wasn't showboating. I just ran out of gas. I've got to give Ben Watson a lot of credit for not giving up and sticking with it and making that play.
gas kept ran totally toward willpower
I was totally gassed. I ran out of gas at the 30-yard line. Only willpower kept me going toward the end zone.
