ask bet chance exact good league playing special starting team
Yeah, we think we have a chance to do some good things but if you ask 31 other quarterbacks around the league today, I bet they feel the exact same way as I do. They feel like their team will do something special this year. That's part of it. That's part of our game. Pretty much, we're all starting on an even playing field.
game lost opposite picks playing series three threw
Basically, I lost that game for us. I threw two picks on the first three series and it was 10-0. It was the opposite of today. When you play from behind, it's different than playing with a lead.
fighting fights-and-fighting playing
If what we're doing can make them happy, we better do all we can. We're playing a game. They're fighting for their lives.
bothers gets good great guess knows love playing satisfied wants works
He's playing great right now, ... He's doing some good things, but I guess it gets a little overshadowed by our 1-2 start. I know it bothers him that we're 1-2. He's not one to be satisfied just because he's playing well. He knows he can get better and he wants to get better, and he works at it. That's what I love so much about him. He's a competitor.
good great guy help including knows players playing telling week
I'm telling you, this guy we have playing for us this week is going to do a great job. He knows what to do. He knows how to do it. Hopefully, the players around him, including myself, can help him have a good game.
enjoy fan opportunity playing
I'm a fan of it. I enjoy watching, and you don't get an opportunity that often. Usually you're playing on Sunday.
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.

We expected to move at a fast pace, and that's how coach Fox likes to practice,

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.

I've been a supporter of Boys & Girls Clubs for years and it's a cause near and dear to my heart.
