People say what they want to say and people are going to make their own opinions.
anonymous continues cowards focusing found game highest knee knowledge love people position situation sources synonymous
I have found over the years that people with knowledge of the situation are usually the most ignorant, and anonymous sources are usually synonymous with cowards who don't want to go on the record. My position has been and continues to be that I am focusing on rehabilitating my knee so that I can come back and play the game I love at the highest level.
few offense people
We've got to get all 11 people on offense doing the right thing at the right time, ... If we've got 10 people doing it, it doesn't work. And we had that a few times.
anybody figure guys outside people stuff worry
A lot of people on the outside are going to have their own opinions. It's not about who's not here. It's about who's here. We've got to find our ingredients, the right mixture. We can't worry about anybody who's not here and stuff like that. We've got to worry about what we can do with the guys who are here. We've got to figure it out.
might people saying
Some people are saying that. Some of it might be true.
days definitely few football knew realize team
We just need to get away from football for a few days and realize what we've got here. The thing is, it's going to take some time. We've got a whole new team here when you think about it. We definitely didn't want to be 1-3, but we knew it was going to take some time.
business care talent team took
We feel we've got a lot of talent on this team and we want to do it now. We took care of business in the offseason.
confidence developed gets great lifts mental mistakes swagger watched
I've watched Nate develop, and he's developed real fast. His swagger and confidence are really what lifts him up and gets him going. He has a great mental game. He doesn't make mistakes at all. And he has just made some spectacular plays.
almost bad episode twilight
It was almost like a bad episode of 'The Twilight Zone,'
top
I should have been on top of communicating better with the receivers.
hit playing position
I've been playing this position a long time, and I know how to get out of those situations. I was off my rhythm, but it's not because I was getting hit. I've been getting hit forever. I've just got to make the plays.
glad hopefully looking progress rush
Things are looking good. I'm not going to predict, or rush myself ... I'm just glad to be making the progress that I'm making and hopefully it continues.
flights house ice knee therapist three
Dr. (James) Andrews recommended a therapist in Orlando, and I've got a one-level house here, so I don't have three different flights (of stairs). There's also no ice on the ground, because if you slip, I'll be right back in surgery. It's better for my knee to be here.
bowl defense effort last pro randy reason win
Randy wasn't the reason we didn't win a championship. Randy had a Pro Bowl effort every year. But I do think we'll do better than we did last year. Not because Randy isn't here. I just think our defense is going to be better. That's why we'll be better.
