We haven't hit on all cylinders just yet and we want to try to get that accomplished and at least be going into the regular season with the confidence that I think this team should have. We have the capabilities to be very good but a lot of the time you have question marks and you don't play quite up to your potential.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I got my career started late so, even though I'm getting older, I don't have as much wear and tear on my arm. I feel good. I really do.
We just made some mistakes. We killed ourselves. It wasn't physical. It was mental. That's the frustrating part. You know physically you match up pretty well with them.
We just gave up too many big, key plays, and it turned on us really quickly, and we weren't able to dig ourselves out of the hole.
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.
Everybody expects me to be that quarterback, too,
Yeah, I think, yeah, in New York it was really a chance to showcase what I could still do and try to present myself with an opportunity like here in Arizona, ... It's where I can play the game the way I wanted to and hopefully write my own story.
We had it set up. We just didn't make it happen. We have to be more consistent.
