It's just one of those things that happens. It's really nobody's fault.
It's a tough situation. Obviously, I regret that the pictures came out. It's (an off) week and I was trying to get away. I was back with some friends I haven't seen for quite a while back home. I'm a 22-year-old kid having some fun.
It's been a crazy couple months since the draft and all the way from sliding in the draft and now starting opening week, ... It's been lot of ups and downs.
They had a great package in, and they're a solid defense. They made the plays, and I got confused on a couple plays.
They do a lot of stuff and I'm sure they're going to do more stuff since it's going to be my first start,

For me, I don't think it causes any problems in the locker room,
There's a little bit of a chip on your shoulder. I think most of us think we should have gone earlier, and to have to wait that long is a little tough to take.
There just wasn't a lot there, ... They covered us up pretty good.
It's back to work. We've got a big game this week and it's too big of a game to be concentrating on off-the-field stuff that really has no bearing on it.
They're still blitzes that every team does. They just do it more than anybody probably. So it's not like I haven't seen the blitzes. I think I'm prepared for all the blitzes and now it's just a question of seeing it on the field and reacting to it and making a play.
I haven't really had time to step back from the situation and kind of let myself be in awe or anything, ... But the fans are unbelievable. It's been a long time since they've had a winner here. You can just feel they want one so bad.
I haven't proven anything yet. This is preseason football and I think I'm playing pretty well, but we haven't even played Game 1. We'll see what we do in the regular season.
