I feel very in control. It's just breaking the huddles and getting the guys to the huddle, and getting a snap count called correctly and know where to go with the ball.
That kind of hurts me. Maurice and Lawrence were definitely guys who had a bad past. They're not even in the league anymore. But I'm a hard worker. I'm going to keep on fighting through my ups and downs. That's the difference between me and them.
This gives our guys a lot of confidence, by getting two wins in other people's stadiums. It's going to be big when we go back home (this) week.
Our fans are the 12th man. Wherever we go, they're going to be there, and they're going to be cheering and yelling. No matter how many guys a stadium seats, they're going to be there.
I just told the guys that we're going to be OK. We drove down the field there a couple of times and couldn't get it in. All of a sudden, we just started executing.
I really can't tell yet how people feel about me. But why wouldn't people have an open mind about me? I'm not a bad guy and I plan to tell the truth.
I've been counting down the days for this, ... Now it's almost here. I'm loving it.
We went into halftime and the coaches made a lot of great adjustments. They called the right plays and we just went out in the second half and tried to make it happen.
That's what I need. I need to be walking on a thin line, making sure every decision I make is the right decision.
We drove down there a couple of times and just couldn't get in. I think we just started executing and went down the field with a lot of confidence. And that's what made it better.
It definitely was embarrassing because that's not our style of play. We came out here and did the same thing in the (Atlantic Coast Conference) championship game. No teams can win with penalties. I don't care what team you are. So, yeah, it's embarrassing.
We got the win, so it doesn't matter, ... But otherwise, the three interceptions made my night terrible. I don't like that at all.
I embarrassed my family. My family didn't speak to me for weeks after that.
I always wanted to be the opposite of Mike. I never wanted to be on the same team. I'm always trying to get a shot at him. I want to beat him. You always want to beat your older brother. I'm looking forward to that.
