I'm sure he feels so much better and so much more confident this year than last, ... I just look forward to catching up with him.
I'm the wrong guy to ask. I'm only doing seven-step drops out there.
A perfect scenario, a perfect place to be in. But then a lot of times it's more disappointing when you don't get it done in a situation like that.
Being 0-3 is a tough place to be. We keep doing a lot of good things and get close to the end zone, but we don't do enough good things once we get down there. I guess the beauty of it is there's not a whole bunch of teams out there that have set themselves apart, and as fast as it goes one way, you can get it going the other way.
In New York, it was really a chance to showcase what I could do and try to present myself with an opportunity like here in Arizona where I could play the game the way I wanted to and hopefully write my own story,
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.
It just put so much pressure on everybody. You just can't sit there and try to do that snap after snap. There were just a lot of momentum plays we gave them that allowed them to get a jump in the second half.
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.
It's a different type of mentality, and here I have a lot on my shoulders,
I've been here a lot of times when I had everybody in here cheering for me and I don't know if I fed off it, but I definitely know I was focused and feeling good.
I've been in a lot of places where I haven't had offensive lines that can just manhandle guys one-on-one, ... but if you get on the right guy, you pick up the right guy, you give your skill players a chance to make a play, and that's where you're successful.
They're at the point where they understand the game. They play the game fast, but timing doesn't become an issue because even though you don't get to throw to them that much in the game, you watch them on film and they're in the exact same spot they are in practice.
