care embrace football gave happy main okay personal phenomenal saw second special time year
I think he's a special person. He'll be all right. He's still growing, he's a young pup in his second year in the league, man, and he'll be fine. We care about him, and not because it's a football thing, but as a personal thing. I was just happy that he was all right. I gave him a big embrace the first time I saw him and I was just happy that he was okay from everything. That was my main concern, not, 'Were you in your playbook?' We'll find that out when the time is right. He's still learning, but he's a phenomenal athlete. I think he'll be fine.
attention body game good jump liked pay people plays second third
You liked that one? I can't tell you what I saw. I had a good jump on it. It was third and one. People who really pay attention to the way I play see I make a lot of plays in the second half. You see a lot from body movement, from tendencies. Sometimes you see more in the game than you would on film.
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.
bit guys looking maybe
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.
catch chest head running watching
I'm watching film and I'm running with my chest up, my head back. ... That's not how you run and catch somebody.
creates crowd defense loud
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.
abruptly ahead focal guys hard leader nice opportunity people point pressure type
It's hard being a leader for so long, being a focal point for so long, and then it kind of abruptly stops. It's nice to be back in the mix. It's also nice not to have 'THE PLAYER' pressure on me anymore. It's on other guys this year. It's going to give me an opportunity to go ahead and play and let the other people have that type of attention.
