chance guys lines offensive pick places players skill
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.
basically center coming fourth guys mixing offensive talking work
I still think we have a lot of work to do, but guys are getting more comfortable and coming into their own. We have a lot of guys mixing in and out of the offensive line. You're talking basically the fourth center we've had in four games.
best coach guys moving pat plan shuffle stand wants
The plan is to stand pat with all our guys and get this thing moving in the right direction, ... No coach ever wants to have to shuffle guys in and out and try to find the best mixture. You want to know it, and have it, and play with it.
ask field football guys love obviously special step time
Obviously they're a special tandem. I love having those guys around. You know what you're going to get every time you step on the football field and you can't ask for more than that.
change guys time won
That's something we have to change - 'the same old Cardinals. We haven't won much here, but it's time for that to change, and I think we have the guys in this locker-room to do it.
against funny guys hugs last played smiles
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
drops guy wrong
I'm the wrong guy to ask. I'm only doing seven-step drops out there.
certain design great guy job larry nature next offense routes running somebody
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.
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.
areas ball change create gears guys might past plays reach separation strong though throws traffic
The guys I've had in the past have been able to create separation and make plays because of the quickness. Now you have to kind of change gears a little bit. Even though you might not have as much separation with these guys, you can still make throws in areas that only they can go get it. And they can really go get it. They can reach up and make plays in the air. They're so long and strong to the ball that you can put it in traffic and they're going to come up with it.
