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.
athlete ball best cast darn ethic extremely good kid miss prepares separates throw work
Peyton would tell you that, too. Eli is a big, good-looking kid who can throw the ball well. The thing that separates Peyton is his work ethic and how he prepares himself. Eli went to Ole Miss and did pretty darn well without the best cast around him. I think he'll do just fine. He's just a very good athlete who can throw the ball extremely well.
ball guy run special throw
We run the ball pretty effectively. When we've had opportunities to throw it, we're getting one-on-one opportunities and we have a guy that we think is pretty special with the ball in his hands.
absolutely bad check eyes saw throw took
It was a bad throw by me, absolutely awful. Stephen was the check down. I saw him there and took my eyes off him and then went back. It was absolutely on me.

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.
couple decisions defensive early ears football fun great job largely line pin points throw
It happened. They did a great job that game. Certainly, we spotted them 10 points early on largely in part to a couple of important decisions by me. Certainly, we had to play catch-up from then on. And when you have to throw the football and the defensive line can just pin their ears back and go, it's not a fun day sometimes.
create defensive ears football four front fun line pin throw
Their front four really create pressure. When you have to throw the football and the defensive line can just pin their ears back and go, it is not a fun day sometimes.
drop extremely miss move people practice throw
In practice, you can only simulate so much stuff. When you're live, things are different. You can't always drop back, set your feet, and throw the ball. You've got to be able to move around back there and make people miss and find your guys. I think Stefan does that extremely well.
drop extremely guys happen miss move people throw
In practice, you can only simulate so much stuff, ... When you're live, things are different. You can't always drop back, set your feet, and throw the ball. It doesn't happen in this League, not with the way defenses move around and guys play. You've got to be able to move around back there and make people miss and find your guys. I think Stefan does that extremely well.
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.
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.

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.
