tried
I tried to give him encouragement. At times he was down because he was used to starting.
coming extra hopefully looking next planning playing rest week whatever year
I'm planning on coming back and playing this year. I'm not looking to next year right now. I'm looking at doing whatever I've got to do to come back this year, so hopefully we'll get a bye and I'll get an extra week to rest and come back.
ability begin forget heady learned move next onto reminds trying worry
I've learned not to worry about one play. Forget it and move onto the next play. He reminds me that I am a big-play threat. I'm trying to get to his level. He is a real smart, heady player. He has so much ability to begin with.
rusty
I've got to get back into the feel of the game. I was a little rusty out there. But for the most part, I thought I did all right.
coach focus good handle job last tells
There's not a real distraction. Like Coach Shanahan tells us -- handle it the day before, and the day of the game, we can just focus on the game. I think we did a good job last week, and I think it'll be the same this week.
carry might water
No, I am still a rookie. I thought they might make me carry the water or something if I said anything.
forward good gotta monday night party reality weekend worst
Monday is like the worst day of all time. You party all weekend and then reality hits. Gotta go back to work. The only good thing about the whole day is 'Monday Night Football.' If you can't look forward to that, what else is there?
call deep good grabbed pushed running side trying
The deep ball, he grabbed my hip, that's how I fell. I was running side by side, he kind of pushed my hip. He was trying to get a pass-interference call, but they didn't call it, so it was good coverage.
count field happy knew men
At first, I thought it was too many men on the field, but I knew that couldn't be because I always count the players. It was crazy, but it's cool. I'm just happy we won.
excitement extremely guys head holding
It's kind of sad. (There's) a lot of guys down (and) not a lot of excitement (but) I don't feel like everybody's holding their head extremely low.
body healing mother nature
It's all about Mother Nature and my body healing on its own.
groin hips injury turning
With this injury and the things I have to do at my position, my groin can't have (problems), because I'm turning and running, turning my hips all the time. I can't really go out there at 50 percent.
found home league playoff year
Home field. Home playoff game. It's going to be hard. But nothing in this league comes easy. I found that out this year. So I feel like every year it's going to be hard.
assets blow drafted fastest good guys past pride running standing stride technique watch
We watch film and he's running past guys like they're standing still. But that's one of my assets that I pride myself on, that I can run fast. That's why I got drafted high. I can run real fast, and I'm one of the fastest guys on the team. So there's not too many guys that are going to blow past me. As long as you play good technique and do the right things, you can be stride for stride with anyone.
