best bunch deal decided eagles everybody far great guys hearing mobile pocket running seems silly sitting steve success super throwing until wants wins
You keep hearing everybody wants a more mobile quarterback, ... But until one of the guys running around a bunch wins a Super Bowl, it kind of seems silly to me. Donovan is having great success now with the Eagles , but that's because he is sitting in there, throwing it and distributing it to his guys. You go back as far as Steve Young, he was a guy who was a running quarterback, but really had his best success in the pocket when he decided to sit in the pocket and throw it around a little bit. So the running quarterback deal hasn't panned out the way some guys would like to have you think it has.
good offense
We couldn't get out of our way the first quarter. It was very frustrating, but it was good to see the way our offense responded.
asks listened
When I was 21, I just listened to him and didn't say much. Now he asks my opinion.
ball defense game horrible until
We put our defense in some horrible spots. They had to keep us in the ball game until we could kind of get it together.
exactly games scenario score strange weapons
With the weapons they have, we know we're going to have to score points, ... You never know exactly how these games are going to go, but it would be a very, very strange scenario for this to be a 9-6 game.
helps late order playing situation whether win
Unfortunately, we're in a situation where, in order to get into the playoffs, we need to win this week, and then we need some help. It's interesting playing the late game. We'll know before kickoff whether a win helps us or not.
benefit negative personally relationship somebody talk team
To go and talk to somebody that has a negative relationship with the guy, I just don't see the benefit for me personally or our team in doing that.
game hang
We had opportunities offensively to end the game and we just couldn't do it. You just can't let them hang around.
approach bowl caliber change forget guy handle left playing rely rushing whoever
It's going to change things, scheme-wise and in my approach to the game, ... Obviously, when you (have) a Pro Bowl left tackle, when you have a guy of that caliber playing on your left side, you just kind of put him over there and forget about it. You just rely on him to handle whoever is rushing on him.
against anyone ball challenge chase football good great run rushing
It's going to be a great challenge to run the ball against (the Chargers), but we're not going to back down from that. We're still going to run the ball. We feel like we can be a very good rushing football team, and we're not going to let anyone chase us away from that.
close couple games last lose mistakes shows
It shows what we can be when we get out of our own way. The last couple weeks, we made some mistakes that put us in some close games and when that happens, you're going to lose some of them.
great
It's great to get back here, back home.
advantage beat crazy league leave opportunity players talented team
Crazy things can happen, ... There are a lot of talented players in this league and if you don't take advantage of your opportunities and put a team away when you have a chance, you always leave them some opportunity to beat you. That's what happened.
dwell eyes forward gone helps stuff wide
I'm going in with my eyes wide open. I know there have been some issues. But at the same time, going forward from here, I don't see how it helps us to dwell on some of the stuff that's gone on in the past.
