Anquan reminds me a whole bunch of Torry: the way they run routes, their strength to the football. Larry's a big young receiver, continues to grow. Those two guys I played with in St. Louis are the two best receivers I ever played with. The guys here have the same potential.
The bottom line is to try to get into as much of a rhythm as we can before that first game. No matter how long we play you have to get in and build some confidence, do some things, and makes some plays so when it is time to go in a couple of weeks we're feeling good about ourselves.
All across the board again we made too many mistakes, ... just doing the simple things. We've got to do a better job on the simple things.
You want me to have some, don't you? You'd really like me to have some, yeah.
You never want to take a shot that's not an educated risk, ... But I'm beginning to learn, because of people telling me and showing me on film, those are a little more educated than they might have been elsewhere.
I didn't want to be in a situation where somebody would have to do bad for me to get my opportunity,
Of course how it all came to an end was not how I had dreamed it up and was disappointing for me, ... But how do you have any animosity for an organization that gave the opportunities that they gave me, that allowed me to fulfill a dream when nobody else would?
She was happy that we got it done so she didn't have to move. Had this not worked out here, I don't know what I would have done.
The plan is to stand pat with all our guys and get this thing moving in the right direction, ... No coach ever wants to have to shuffle guys in and out and try to find the best mixture. You want to know it, and have it, and play with it.
Obviously, things are worst in the first 24 hours. It's a little sore right now, but hopefully it's not extremely serious.
Obviously they're a special tandem. I love having those guys around. You know what you're going to get every time you step on the football field and you can't ask for more than that.
Obviously it's very disappointing with high expectations. I guess the good thing is there are not that many teams that are 2-0, and we still have a lot of time to recover and get back on track.
It's going (to depend) on his confidence to get up, snap and put it in the right spot time and time again, ... But it's more the confidence and the quickness to learning with your off hand. Try and brush your teeth with your left hand. It's not as easy as it sounds.
It's funny because I've played against so many guys that I've played with over the years the last two weeks, ... It's probably not going to be any different. There's going to be some hugs and smiles before the game, but then you're going to get out there and battle.
