But I've got an excuse, ... Well, actually two. I'm a rookie, and I play for the Bears.
For me, I don't think it causes any problems in the locker room,
It's something that happened and you can't take back. ... We got past the last game. It was an unfortunate situation. It happened off the field, but it's back to work. We've got a big game this week, and it's too big a game to be concentrating on off-the-field stuff that has no bearing on it.
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.
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.
They blitzed us quite a bit, ... I saw a lot of pressure.
They confused me. They're a solid defense. I'm not going to put this on me being young or anything. I played like crap today.
They confused me. They had a great package in and they're a solid defense. They made the plays and I got confused on a couple of plays.
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.

There just wasn't a lot there, ... They covered us up pretty good.
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,
