I was impressed a little last year and I was really impressed in Week 1 of how well he was running inside. From that aspect, yeah, I knew he was capable of it, but to see him really, really pound it in there was fun to see.
football game last needs plays result supposed win year
I think he understands he doesn't have to win the game. I think last year he'd be the first one to tell you he was of the thought I have to win the football game. He just needs to make the plays he's supposed to make, and we'll win the football game as a result of that.

From last year to this year, he's a different quarterback. He's definitely our leader.

From last year to this year, he's a different quarterback. He has an understanding of what he needs to do to manage the football team. The plays he makes with his feet and throwing the ball is amazing.

He understands what you have to have to win and he doesn't deviate from his game plan. That's why we're consistent, year in and year out.

We are a tough-minded, physical, hard-nosed team, and I think we reflect our coach's character. That's why we're consistent year in and year out.

bit care drag gone last process year
It's disappointing in a sense that the organization said last year they're going to take care of him, and it wasn't resolved. I think they could have gone through this process a little bit earlier. They didn't have to drag it this far.
athlete authority confidence fish football player playing terms totally understand year
The first year, you're a fish out of water; you have no idea of the offense. Year two, you know the offense, you're comfortable. Now you can see the confidence come out, so now you see an athlete look like a totally different football player because they've got confidence, they're playing with authority and they understand where they need to be. So it's not so much that they get better in terms of talent, but you can see the talent.
best experience factor knew second
We knew it was going to be a four-quarter game. Experience comes into play when you are down like that and you take their best punch. (It) was a factor in the second half.
living super
To be in the Super Bowl, I am living the dream. Then to be at home, it's an unbelievable dream. It's one of those things you don't want to end.
coming control knew
We knew coming in that if we wanted to control this division, this was the game.
cheering grew hear ovation people super
To hear the ovation from the crowd, and to hear people I grew up with cheering for me in the Super Bowl, it was incredible. It's better than I ever thought it would be.
