against amongst beat change close game indeed measures necessary perception plays realize rep since start steps taking team together until win
That's what we've been doing since I've been here. It's always close, but not close enough. Until all of us as a whole come together and realize that we can indeed win and start taking the necessary steps and measures to do that, then that'll be what we are: The team that plays hard, and you're going to have to play your tails off to beat them, but some way, somehow, we'll win the game against them. And I think that's kind of like our rep right now, and we have to do everything we can to change that perception of us. And more importantly, we have to change it amongst ourselves.
difference experience games gone learning neither nor precious realize
It's a learning experience that I've gone through over this whole process, and I feel like I could have made a difference in some of those games we let get away, but who's to say that I would have? ... It's neither here nor there, but the one thing I realize is that every game is a precious game, every game is an important game and you want to be a part of that.
constantly fail figure guys hunt realize trying
I think what you guys fail to realize is I do hunt for minds. So I'm constantly trying to figure out who you are, what you're about.
heat love
I love everything about being in Washington. I know I've said some things that I probably shouldn't have said out of the heat of the moment. I have regrets, but I love being a Redskin.

I'm motivated. You guys are going to get what you're looking for - maybe a little bit more.
figure letting trying
I'm just trying to figure out where we go from here. This one's got me confused. We're just letting them get away, the same way, over and over again.
anyone bad besides capable continue given playing redskins rid
It's not a given that I'll continue playing if the Redskins get rid of me. I don't really want to play for anyone else. I don't feel bad about it. I've had my time. I'm capable of doing other things besides football.
continue given playing redskins rid
It's not a given that I'll continue playing if the Redskins get rid of me.
best feet game good happens laugh pressure trying whatever
I just want to get my feet wet, ... Whatever happens is going to happen. That's how I look at it. I want to go out there and play the smartest, best game I can play. I'm trying not to put too much pressure on myself. I want to make sure I'm still able to laugh at myself if I do something good or something bad.
fans heat love regrets
I love it here. I love the fans here. I love everything about being in Washington. I know I said some things I probably shouldn't have said, out of the heat of the moment. I have regrets for that. I love being a Redskin through and through.
anybody glad happy
I'm just happy it's over. I'm glad we got it resolved. I don't want to play for anybody else.

I'm watching film and I'm running with my chest up, my head back. ... That's not how you run and catch somebody.

It was loud on the field. That always creates opportunities for a defense when the crowd is loud like that.
bad fairly happened hurt opportunity sitting special
It was one of those things that happened, and it happened the way it happened, and you can't go back on it, ... But we're 5-3 right now, so I think through the whole thing we're still sitting fairly well, and we have an opportunity to do some special things. So it didn't hurt us too bad if it was a distraction, hopefully.
