I felt like we had the opportunity to do something special. I got the feeling that these guys really wanted me here. I think we've got a tremendous opportunity to win, and win very quickly. I know this town is craving a winner and we're going to get one.
I felt comfortable. But it wasn't my best day. I wasn't perfect and I wish I had thrown the ball a little bit better.
I feel like I'm getting the reps I need to prepare myself for the season. Each week I'm feeling more comfortable and getting better.
What can you say about L.T. that hasn't already been said other than he's obviously a special player and somebody we rely on quite a bit in everything we do, in the running game, the passing game and just as an offense,
Tom (Condon) and I have been moving full steam ahead trying to evaluate what other options there could potentially be. I'm just waiting to see what free agency has in store for me.
This whole thing with San Diego, when I went into the off-season, I thought for sure I'd still end up with the Chargers. I think that was a shocker for everybody, including myself. Even up to recently, I thought something was going to happen.
We thought about taking a ride in his car,
We were focused on the game, through, and didn't think we'd mess with it,
We weren't able to get any rhythm going.

It's my job to get us in good plays, or more importantly, out of bad plays, ... That's what I did.
That's only going to make us better. Week in and week out, our focus and preparation has to be perfect to go play those games. I think we're definitely up to the challenge. A lot of those teams are teams that are perennially in the playoffs. Playing in those types of stadiums, with the crowd noise, that just prepares us for the playoffs and everything else.
It's interesting that three teams have (off weeks) to prepare for us now, but byes can be funny things. I've been in situations where we came off one and played terrible. I've also been in others where we came off one and just kept rolling. We have great momentum now. We just want to keep it going.
