allowed animosity dreamed ended fulfill gave
I really don't. The thing is, of course, the way it ended wasn't how I dreamed it up. It was disappointing to me. But how do you have any animosity to an organization that gave me the opportunities that they gave me, that allowed me to fulfill a dream when no one else would?
beauty bunch close fast goes good guess teams themselves tough
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.
games
In the two games we've played, there have been a lot of things that were good,
arizona chance game hopefully opportunity present showcase
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,
extent felt groin obviously sprint
I don't really know what happened. When I started to sprint out to my left, I just felt my groin give out actually two times on the play. The extent of it we obviously don't know yet.
fling receiver
I don't know if he can read anything. The first receiver better be open, but he can fling it.
realize
I didn't realize that, the little things you learn.
challenge fun standpoint team
To me, that's fun. It's a challenge every week, but fun from the standpoint that everything is predicated on what another team is doing.
allowed biggest continue couple games grow looked played pressure runs screens took
I thought Eli looked poised. It was one of those games where, fortunately for him, he wasn?t called upon to do a whole lot. They had a lot of big runs and he had a couple of screens that were probably his biggest plays. I think the game played out the way they wanted it to. They took the pressure off him, which allowed him to continue to grow and get better.
against atmosphere guys league type
I think you see so often around this league that the guys don't get along, they don't like each other, they make it one guy against the other guy. You don't have that same type of atmosphere (in Arizona). That's what makes it easier.
battling gain increased respect teammates
I think you gain something with your teammates when you do, when they see you battling through stuff. I don't know if they look down on you when you don't, but I know there's an increased respect when you do.
focus lead super team whatever win
I want to win some Super Bowls, and so that's really my focus, to do whatever I have to do to lead this team to a championship,
allowed although chance coach definitely game great hurts looking offensive played success team willing
I was looking for someone that was willing to give me a chance to play the game the way I played again. He definitely allowed me to do that. ... It wasn't necessarily what he had done with quarterbacks in the past, although it never hurts to be a part of a team or with a coach that has had great offensive success and great success with quarterbacks.
happen hope maybe optimistic rather sooner
I think it is going to be sooner rather than later, so I'm very optimistic about it. Maybe not as optimistic as to hope I could be out there on Sunday, but optimistic that it'll happen soon.
