He said, 'I'm trying to make too many big plays,' ... He was trying to make a big play each time he touched the ball, when really if he stuck with his blocks and what he knows how to do, good things will happen.

There's nothing that Roy doesn't do well. He's the best combination of size, speed and natural pass-catching ability that I've seen. He's not our fastest receiver, and he's not our biggest receiver.

When you hold up your end of the bargain and you're accountable to everybody else on the team, then things will fall into place.
matter receiver
It doesn't matter which receiver it is, ... It's always, 'I was open.'
