confidence guys hang says word
Guys hang on every word because they just feel the confidence that comes from him: 'This is what we're going to do, this is how we're going to win. They can pretty much take what he says to the bank.
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.
perfect situation
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.
arena college dome great inside love played playing team tough
I love playing here, ... I played in a dome in college. I played inside in Arena Football. I've played in the dome here. I just love playing inside. It's my element. It's what I'm comfortable with. ... It was great to get back in here. If we play this way at home, we're going to be a very, very tough team to beat.

It was just the design of the defense, ... They were doing certain things certain ways, and it's kind of the nature of the beast. One guy in this offense has a lot of success. It can be somebody completely different the next game. Larry did a great job running his routes and making plays.
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.
believe felt games guy knock maybe nine played playing point shown time trying
I don't think they felt at that point in time that Eli was a better quarterback than I was, ... Maybe they did. It was never shown to me. I'm not trying to knock Eli by that. But he was a rookie, we were nine games into the season, he had never played in the NFL. I don't believe they felt he was going to do the things I couldn't do. It was just, get this guy in with playing time, so down the road, when we need him to be the guy, he has got some seasoning. He got better game in and game out.
battle chips fall fighting fights-and-fighting letting
I'm fighting that battle not to have that go through my mind, ... Right now it's just working, rehabbing and getting ready, getting to 100 percent, doing what I do, and letting all the chips fall where they may.
