basically came couple games lost opposite
When we came in here a couple of games ago, basically I lost the game for us. It was basically the opposite of today.
basically came couple good lost months nice stepped top
When we came a couple months ago, basically I lost the game. It was nice to come back and get on top this time. They're a good defense, but we stepped up to the challenge.
along chance deeper dive fast fun gives goes moved overall pace putting year
We moved at that fast pace in camp. We got a lot of things done. It wasn't like that first year when you're putting in a new system, where it was like, 'This goes in today.' You will have some mess-ups along the way, but overall it gives you the chance to, I guess, dive deeper into the offense. And it's quicker. That's what makes it fun as a player.
behind career couple extremely game girl guys last learn light mean move played saying scar slept spend talked team throw time watch
When I talked to you guys after the game on Sunday, it was just one of those things where, if you've ever played a team sport, you're down, ... Certainly, I was extremely down. But things get put into perspective. When I get home, I have a little girl and get to spend time with her. It doesn't take away the pain, especially when you watch it on film. But that's the NFL. I don't mean to make light of it but I'll probably throw another one before my career is up. That's just part of it. It's going to happen. I've slept well the last couple of nights. You have to move on. I try to put things behind me. I'm not saying it's not a scar or anything, but you have to learn and move on.
good lines solid sunday team
We feel we're a solid team. But going out and doing it is another. We have a good team on paper, but if you can't play between those lines on Sunday it does you no good.
along coach deeper dive expected fast faster fox fun likes move offense
We expected to move at a fast pace, and that's how coach Fox likes to practice. That's what's fun. ... You will have some mess-ups along the line, but you can move at a faster pace, and dive deeper into the offense quicker. And that's what makes it fun as a player.
coach expected fast fox likes move
We expected to move at a fast pace, and that's how coach Fox likes to practice,
following since southern
I've been following him since he was at Southern Miss,
came close knew last
We didn't make enough plays. We knew it would come down to the wire. It came down to the last seconds, and we didn't make enough plays. That is what's frustrating. We were close, but close doesn't get you anything in this league.
boys cause clubs dear girls near supporter
I've been a supporter of Boys & Girls Clubs for years and it's a cause near and dear to my heart.
great nick threw
That was a great play. I had Nick Goings for a touchdown. When I threw it I thought touchdown all the way.
blink center field guess hold knew motion remember seemed sent sky weird
I still remember how, before that game, you could see the haze in the sky from the smoke. It was weird ... I remember getting under center and we sent 'Moose' (Muhammad) in motion that first play of the game, and the field was bouncing. I guess it was the trays (that hold the turf) or something. That's when you knew it was just a game. And it just seemed like it was over in a blink of an eye.
doubt field goal kick lower players win
It doesn't get any lower than this. There was no doubt we were going to kick the field goal and win the game. You don't want to have to look your other players in the eyes, because you let them down.
believe
We just believe we can get it done some kind of way,
