ball best defense finally forcing good liked offense run tonight
The thing I liked best about our offense tonight is that we finally got out of our own way, ... We were making mistakes, but not because the defense was forcing us to do it. When we run the ball like we did tonight, we're going to be good offensively.
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.
amount bad best bit compliment great guy leader learn pay remained respect south start strong team tremendous turn until
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Greg g. I think you learn a lot more about a guy when things start going bad than you do when things are going good. The best compliment I can pay Gregg is that when things started to turn south a little bit for us in Buffalo, he was steadfast and strong and remained a great leader for that team right up until they let him go.

Our very long-term prospective hinges on making the best possible wine we can.
best competitor natural plays
Some of those, to me, are the best plays I've made because my natural inclination as a competitor is to make plays all the time.

career field games guy numbers played team thrown win yards
I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
either far high terry thrown wide
I should've thrown it high enough and far enough wide that either Terry was going to get it or no one was going to get it. I didn't put enough on it, and that was the game.
both easy impressed mentally physically playing rookie setbacks
I've been very impressed with Marion. He went through setbacks both physically and kind of mentally and emotionally. All of the things that go on being a rookie, particularly being a rookie playing for Bill. It's not an easy task.
attack bill continue defense metal odds playing ready smart trying understand
I understand what we're doing. We're playing the odds a little bit. Our defense is playing well and we're trying to be as smart as we can. ... We'll continue to do that, but there will be times when we come out and attack a little more. When Bill says, 'Put the metal down,' I'll be ready to go.
receiver
I've never had a big receiver like that,
afraid anyone ball bill chance felt history obviously people pigeonhole plays points run threw trick turned wants
People try to pigeonhole Bill and make it out like he just wants to run the ball and play defense. I've been with him before, and we threw it more than anyone in the history of the league. He's not afraid to take a chance on a trick play here and there. He felt that would give us a chance, and it obviously did. Those plays turned into points for us.
ball biggest bill brought edge focused life living negative throw
Bill said when he brought me in here: 'You've got to be smart. We're not going to throw the ball like a high-wire act, living life on the edge all the time,' ... The biggest thing I am going to be focused on is eliminating negative plays.
