I was able to make a play, ... The only thing you can control is what you do when you get an opportunity to play.
It's difficult in my position because you are just waiting on injuries and that's often when your opportunity comes at this point into the season, ... You never wish anyone ill health, but that's the reality of the business.
They jumped into a different defense. It was supposed to be a toss, but I think some people thought it was a handoff.
I hope that you have explained to the citizens of Meridian that nobody is slipping anything on them or hiding anything, because if you read your phone bill it's right there before you. So it's not put in small letters so small you have to use a microscope in order to see it.
I made so many friends that I keep in touch with from the league.
I'm just looking forward to coming in and working hard and trying to pick things up as quickly as I can, ... I'm ready to do whatever they ask me to do, and whatever I can do to help this team win.
I want the team to be better, ... So it is kind of unfair to be selfish and not try and help my teammates out. I am very competitive, though, and I do want that backup job and I'm playing as hard as I can to get that.

It's funny - there have been a lot of changes, obviously, since I've been here, and it hasn't really been that long, ... It was great playing with Kerry and Jason and guys like Kurt, and getting a chance to take different things from all those guys.
It's an incredible honour. I was completely shocked. I didn't even know I was being considered.
It was supposed to be a toss. I think there was some miscommunication.
In terms of my time, it's not today,
I'm an athlete, ... I'm a baseball player.
We moved the ball well and ate the clock. We would have liked to score touchdowns but Jay just kicked the ball great.
