chance felt good practicing third
It felt good. It's still only my third day of practicing and getting a chance to get out here and participate in a live game. It's good to be back.
black chills contract driving faith fans football glad good negotiate passionate players policy seeing situation stadium
Im here. Im just glad to be back, ... Im very passionate about football and just driving back to the stadium today, seeing all the fans in their black and gold, a lot of chills went through my body. For me, this whole holdout situation was to show good faith to an organization and (respect) their policy that they dont negotiate with players under contract (who are not in camp).
begin believed ended except feels good guys hard last locker nobody paid season super work
I can't even begin to tell you how do good this feels ... especially after how our season ended last year. Nobody believed in us except the guys in this locker room. All our hard work has paid off. We're going to the Super Bowl.
ben good great missed plays reads three
It's great to be back - I missed it. It was just day three for me, and we're getting better. Ben is making good reads and we need to make some plays for him.
camp four good great hit hitting looked panic training transfer
We're not going to hit the panic button. We had a great training camp and we looked good in practice. We were hitting on all four cylinders. We just haven't been able to transfer that into games.
good mess rest stability traditions
They're a family-owned business, and they don't like to mess with the traditions of the team. When you have a good nucleus and stability at the owner's position, it just trickles down to the rest of the organization.
beat came good knew last nobody redemption tough
A day ago, nobody wanted to give us a chance. We came out and we did what we had to do. We knew it would be tough to come into Indianapolis, and they beat us pretty good the last time. This is kind of redemption for us.
drive eight good happy plays until
I think we need to put a good drive together. Don't let us come out until we put seven, eight plays back-to-back. Then, I'm happy with that.
good job last telling veteran
Last year, going 15-1, everyone's patting you on the back telling you what a good job you did, it kind of got overwhelming. It can get overwhelming even for veteran guys.
good redemption won
They won our division. It's redemption time. We get that opportunity, and we feel good because we won in Cincinnati.
asks chops good licking looked opportunity
Charlie's been here a long time. He's looked good at practice. I know he's licking his chops for this opportunity. That's all he asks for, an opportunity to go out there and play.
career count game looked man
We have to count our blessings. The man above, he really looked down on Jerome and said, 'I'm not going to let you end your career on a fumble like that.' ... We're one game away from getting him to Detroit.
fell focus game guys short
We fell one game short (last year). A lot of guys are focused, real hungry. Things didnt go particularly the way we wanted in the preseason, but you dont game-plan in the preseason. Our whole focus now is Tennessee.
felt minutes played regroup win
We felt we were in control. But they played 60 minutes and we didn't. So now we've got to regroup and let's try to win 13 straight.
