Maybe I'm spoiled a little. I see it all the time, but he just never ceases to amaze me.
I was trying to be as inconspicuous as possible. But when you're with Mayor Flutie, it's pretty much impossible. They love the guy there.
I said, 'Thanks LT, for turning that swing pass into a 30-yard touchdown pass,'
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 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.
I don't think we're in a situation at all where anybody's overreacting here. I mean, obviously 2-3 is not where we thought we'd be at this point in the season, especially since I feel like we have a really good team and I feel like we're better than we were last year, ... But I think our attitude is and the way we look at it is, if we win this game we're sitting at 3-3, which is exactly where we were sitting at this time last year.
I expect to have a great season and I expect us to have a great season, ... How else would you expect us to look at it?
We can kick ourselves all we want, but it's not going to do us any good except probably make us mad.
We feel if we play like we're supposed to and execute like we're supposed to, everything will take care of itself.
We're probably just flying under the radar, just going out and taking care of our business. And all that stuff takes care of itself when the time comes. We're a team that if we keep going at the rate we're going, yes, we'll reach that level.
We've gone on the road and won at two very difficult places. We've got another hostile environment this week, but we know that we can win wherever we play if we execute and do the things we need to do.
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.
