plays rhythm stay trying
Once you get out of that rhythm and you're trying to get back into that rhythm sometimes you try to do too much. You want to stay on the field, so you try to make plays happen.
both coaching difficult last needs respect rick team trying
If I need to say something, I can say what needs to be said. Last year, it was difficult with Rick and I both trying to say stuff. You can't really do that. Now, I think I have the respect from the team and the coaching staff.
beat fun grew previous year
It's no fun getting beat up in the press. That's for sure. I grew up more in that one year than I had in the previous 18.
glad help needed signed stay
I'm glad to be out here. We signed for what, 90 minutes. I'd stay as long as needed to help out.
growing last learning mistakes year
And you know, making those mistakes and learning from them is part of growing up as a quarterback. There were mistakes I made last year that I won't make again.
dull ear good last next steps walk
There's never a dull moment. If you walk on your last two steps before you get to the next drill, he's in your ear screaming. It's new, but I think it's going to be good for us.
bad ball coach dropping
Coach Sanders is not the one out there dropping the ball or making bad plays. We put that on us.
bit came offense quarter saw
You saw about a quarter of the defense. The offense had a little bit of an advantage. It came down to execution.
again defense execution focusing half learning means quarter saw work
You probably saw about half of what (the offense) has and a quarter of what the defense does. We're just focusing on execution and learning again what it really means to work hard.
coach love
I love coach Sanders, but getting Coach Cutcliffe in here is probably for the better and we'll all get out there and take one day at a time.
anyone dropped few poor threw time
It's as frustrating to me as it is anyone on offense, any time you're not getting it done. Dropped balls, we had a few of those. Poor throws, we had those. We threw too many interceptions. There were just a lot of things. It was not any one thing that got us beat.
anyone anytime beat dropped poor
It was as frustrating for me as for anyone on offense. Anytime you're not getting it done -- dropped balls, poor throws. There were a lot of things, not just one thing that got us beat today.
good last stuff
We're doing a lot of different stuff. We're not just doing the stuff we did last year. I don't want to get too in-depth on what we're doing, but it's all good stuff.

If you're scared, buy a big dog and tie it around your waist.
