ball definitely jump shots
We're definitely going to take our shots with him. I just wanted to try and get him in a jump ball (situation) and make a play.
screen
We got close, the screen that was tipped was a walk-in from my vantage point,
continued gotten hard since work
We've gotten better since then. We've continued to work hard and gotten better.
england hype open playing season tough
That was a tough way to open up the season ... all the hype and everything and playing in New England, which is about as tough a place as you can play,
safe situation stay throw warrants
I still want to stay aggressive. I want to try to get everything I can, but at the same time, if the situation warrants that I throw it in there, I'm fine. But if not, I want to be safe with the ball.
helps win
To come up here and get a win really helps our confidence,
gotten runs though
I don't think it will be a problem. I've gotten to know Jerry. I know what he is about, how he runs routes, I know what he does a lot of times. So even though we haven't had a lot of reps this preseason, I don't think it will be a big deal.
came clear guy happens league obviously played rich situation starter understood
Obviously I've played a lot in this league and started a lot of games. But when I came here they made it clear what the situation would be. I understood that Rich would be the starter and I will be the guy that's there if something happens to Rich. That will be my approach.
hard obviously rhythm
Obviously it was hard for us to find a rhythm today. They made the plays, and we didn't.
hurt
Obviously, it's going to hurt us. Ronald was going to be a big part of what we did this year, and it's unfortunate that he won't be around.
hands obviously throw wish
Obviously at halftime, you don't throw up your hands and say that's it. But it was a big play and one I wish I had back.
came game including knew workout
Right before the game he came in and said his workout went well. We knew he would be limited, but he made some big catches, including a touchdown. We used him sparingly, but he was effective.
beat goal knew
My goal was not to have any turnovers tonight. I knew that's what it would take to beat these guys. It was a disappointing play.
england funny randy throw throwing worry
I find that very funny because when I throw to him too much, like I did in the New England game, it's 'Oh, you're throwing to Randy too much,' ... And then when I don't throw to him enough: 'Well, you're not throwing to Randy enough.' ... In my mind, I can't win that battle, so I'm not going to worry about it.
