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,
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.
I thought we did a real good job playing the field position battle. We're still in the lead in the division and now we're going to Detroit.
I saw the blitz coming. I saw the 1-on-1 over there. I wanted to give Justin a chance, but I just left the ball inside a little too much. It's tough when you know you're only playing a little bit; you try so hard to make something happen.
I think I played real solid, ... Maybe only two passes I'd like to have back. And that's pretty good when you're playing a full football game. I made good decisions. I thought I got the ball out of my hands quick and really knew the situations I was in.
It got really loud, and they started showing us some different looks, ... We were just trying to call some stuff out there for the line to get the protection right.
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.
I haven't proved anything yet. I'm playing pretty well, but we haven't even played game one.
I played like crap, ... I had a chance to make plays and didn't do it. The result of that is us losing the game. I didn't make good decisions. You can't play like that, turn the ball over five times, and expect to win. I'm not gonna put this on me being young.
I don't know. I just know we're where we should be, and that's first place. That's where the Chicago Bears should be.
I didn't play well. I didn't make good decisions. You can't play like that and turn the ball over five times and expect to win a game.
He played well. Moose is that veteran guy that has played in big games before. He's big for our offense.
He's a hard-nosed guy. For him to play hurt, that's great.
