exact game issue point spot though throw timing understand watch
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.
best bunch continues guys louis played reminds run strength
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.
bottom build couple feeling good line matter plays rhythm time weeks
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.
four obviously require rest thankful three week
This isn't anything major, just disappointing. Obviously this is going to take the rest of the season, so that's the disappointing part of it. I'm just thankful that it is what it is, that it will not require any surgery, and that it will be a three to four week injury.
excited extremely felt good
They were extremely excited to have me be a part of their organization, ... That, more than anything, made it a good fit. Once they got involved, it just felt right.
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.
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.
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,
conversation exciting fun good love side weird
He's doing great. It was a good conversation, ... I think there will be a lot of conversation before the game. We're still close. We all still love each other. It's going to be weird being on the other side of the football, but it's going to be fun and exciting as well.
guys help huge moves trying
Hopefully, we can make some moves and get some guys in who can really help us. He (James) would be huge for what we're trying to accomplish.
cheer maybe
Hopefully, they still like me a little bit, ... And maybe they'll cheer for us a little, too.
