That's been one of our goals from the beginning of the season and it would be a big accomplishment for this team. It's been in our sights the past couple of weeks and now it's here for us to have if we want it. It's just a matter of whether we can go out there and play football well enough.
It is shocking. We haven't had a performance like this before. We've always found a way to move the ball and score points, and today we just couldn't do anything. I wish I had a reason why. We've had bad games before where the next week you come in and work on something and hopefully get better, but this performance is one we'll have to think about for the next several months.
You never know what you're going to get from week to week in the NFL.
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.
We had a chance to do it, but obviously, we didn't. We've got another chance next week, and hopefully, we'll do a better performance.
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.
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.
I'm old school. I'm locked into my own little circle. If you cross the line, you're going to get bit. They'll always know where I'm coming from and once we hit the floor, there's no doubt.
Strike one is a big, big pitch-you can do a lot after you get strike one, no matter how you get it.
Hey, hitting is hard-if you make good pitches that aren't elevated in the zone, you're going to have success.
My goal is to get outs as soon as I can. Strikeouts aren't that big a deal to me.
My thing is to be ready to pitch every five days and give my team a chance to win.
It's all about having fun. Play hard and fair, don't hurt anybody. Feel good about what you're doing and how you're doing it.
