I'm just going to try to go out there and play well. Obviously my concerns are about this game against Carolina. I don't have to do anything that's not there and is not going to be open. You have to hit the guys and play smart football.
It was just kind of the way the day went.
It's not all about getting one guy into the end zone. It's about getting the team into the end zone, putting up points and winning games.
I'm upset. You prepare and hope that you go out there in a big game and big situation and play well, and put your team in a situation to win. And today I didn't do that. I didn't play well. I didn't make enough plays. I made too many mistakes for us to win today.
I've just seen it on TV and in pictures.
I've had ups and downs, that's just the way football goes. You can't win them all. It's a matter of learning each week and taking everything in. I'm not going to make every play, I'm going to make some mistakes, but as long as I'm not making the costly ones that are going to hurt the team, I'll be all right.
I've had some good games and bad games. I think I've been putting our team in situations to win most games in the fourth quarter. That's been one of my goals. But I have to improve my play in all aspects for us to have a chance to do well in the playoffs.
It'll be fun, obviously. But I'm really competing against the Indianapolis defense. It'll be exciting and something you always remember because it's the first time we'll ever compete against each other.
The intensity level is high every game. But when you play Dallas, the intensity is going to go up.
Every game he just makes so many outstanding plays for us. Not only with his runs, but with his pass receiving. He?s our work horse and we are going to keep feeding him.
After an incompletion, you can probably tell the difference,
You never know what you're going to get from week to week in the NFL.
My arm feels fine. You still have to be aggressive, but if something's ugly and not there, you can't force it in.
Nobody had many catches. There's no doubt, we gotta get him some catches.
