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.
believe carry cocky confident football hard hopefully starting team week work
I think this team was confident going into week one. We're a team that is confident, but not a cocky football team. We work hard and we believe that we'll go out and play well on Sundays. It's starting to carry over now, so hopefully we'll keep it up.
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.
best dominated football good played team year
You have to give them credit. That's a good football team. They were the best team in the NFC all year and they played better than us today. That's for sure. They dominated the day today.
coming football games good move next sit team tomorrow tonight
Tonight and tomorrow are going to be tough, but we've got to move on. We've got 15 more games and they come quick, real quick. We can't sit here and sulk because we've got a good football team coming in here next week.
eyes guys team
This team has been here before. Guys want to make plays. Guys don't have big eyes in the huddle.
eye teammates worse
It sucks, ... Sports-wise, nothing worse than that. You can't put it into words. As a player, you don't want to look your other teammates in the eye because you let them down. There ain't nothing worse than that.
control hope loses team win worry
We're 10-5, and nothing has been clinched yet, but we still control our own destiny. If we had to say, 'We hope this team loses and we win,' that would be hard. But we don't have to worry about that. If we can win on Sunday, then we can worry about who we play and where in the playoffs.
control hopefully smarter team
We still want to control the clock. Hopefully we're a smarter team now.
bad ball best couple dig early half hole learn plays points second spot team throw tough
When you spot a team like that 10 points out of the chute, it's going to be a tough hole to dig out of. A couple bad plays early on and they really got after us. We had to throw the ball a lot in the second half and they teed off on us. Offensively, it wasn't one of our best performances. We need to try to learn from that film and learn from what they have done since.
continue dominant easier hopefully last left ready season smart struggled teams trying weeks
Look at Washington: They were so dominant two weeks ago and then they struggled last week. You have to be ready every week. Hopefully, we can be one of the better teams in the N.F.L. But that's easier said than done. If we continue working the way we are and trying to play smart football, hopefully we can be one of those teams. But there's still a lot of season left to be played.
coaches cover create great guys motion run taken teams
The great thing our coaches do, we put him in different formations. We kind of motion him around, we try to create opportunities for him. A lot of teams have rolled to him and taken two guys to cover him. When you can take two guys out with one, you need to be able to run the football.
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.
