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.
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.
great situation
It was pretty awesome. If we get a one-on-one situation with him, we'll give him a shot. He made a great play and he showed what he can do.
close definitely felt guys knew looking people shot situation three took
I was definitely looking for the first down first, ... I knew the situation and felt anything that was close to getting a first down was covered. They had some people on Randy, two or three guys on him every play. J.P. was on the safety, so I took a shot at it.
guys
We showed a lot of heart. We showed a lot of character, ... We should have won. But I don't think our guys are going to go in the tank.

We showed a lot of heart, ... We showed a lot of character. I'm encouraged by what I've seen.
ball creative expect people roll ways
We expect (double coverage) every game. People are going to do it, roll (coverage) to him and stuff. But we're creative enough where we can find ways to get him the ball down the field.
believe definitely kinds learned newspapers opinions
I've definitely learned that you never believe everything that you read in the newspapers or see on TV, ... I mean, you've got to make your own kinds of opinions in this business.
came guys hung proud season tonight work
The whole season has been disappointing, but I am proud of the way guys hung in there and fought. I know that guys came to play tonight and it was unfortunate that things didn't work out in our favor.
makeup talent wait
And while we can't wait too much longer, we know we've got to get this thing righted. We've got the guys. We have the makeup to do it, and we've got the talent to do it.
coverage fun playing randy single
Randy had single coverage on the outside, and we know we aren't going to see that often with Randy. It's going to be a lot of fun playing with him.
ball defense keys played run winning
Our defense played great, and we were able to run the ball well. Those are the two keys to winning a game.
effortless far run throw unique
Everything is so effortless for him, ... It doesn't look like he's running. I can throw it as far as I can and he catches up to it with no problem. He's a unique guy. He can run unique routes. Every day, I see something that's new and different, and it's something that I like.
anybody head seen though walking
Even though we're 0-3, I haven't seen anybody getting down. I haven't seen anybody walking around with their head down, like they're going in the tank.
