some rowdy fans. I'm sure there's going to be all kinds of expletives yelled at him, at their team.
So to be able to come out and go, 'Well, I guess I know when they call the first team, it's me,' that feels good.
Definitely, it's best for both of us. Obviously, I'm not surprised by anything that happens any more. I've made it known I want to be here and, hopefully, that will happen. I'd like to say if it were up to me, they'd sign me long term and I'd be the guy here for my whole career. . . . You win football games and everything takes care of itself.
Definitely by training camp I'll be out there getting ready to have a great season. No concern whatsoever.
Definitely a game we should have won. To have the momentum we did, to be down on the yard-and-a-half line when we were up 14-10, we felt we had a great chance to put them away.
This is a big statement, but we could be as good as any offense ever,
I think the penalties were down and I think the tempo was much better, ... We went no huddle for the majority of the game and that provides tempo and rhythm for us. Once you start getting a few first downs, you are able to really get going.
I think that being in New York and having that rookie year, he's been through a lot in a short time, and he's learned ways to handle it.
I said, 'Thanks LT, for turning that swing pass into a 30-yard touchdown pass,'
I think it's pretty obvious by the one offer they gave me and their reluctance to move beyond that point. Maybe I'd have the opportunity to stay there and win my job back once again. But since I kind of know where everybody stands in the organization and the people who are making the decisions, I don't think so.
I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.
He seems to be a fan favorite, and he's fun to watch. Hopefully we'll see him scurrying down the field on special teams and when he's called on in the offense.
He was a big part of that defense that year. I think he led the team in tackles. And for just a freshman playing free safety, that's pretty impressive. He came up with some big plays.
He is very powerful, ... You can't really tackle him with one guy. You see him break tackles all the time, like he did on the last touchdown. Obviously his ability to catch the football is special.
