ground hit holding hoping knee serious thankful
Oh, I was scared, man, because my knee hit the ground so hard, ... I was just holding it, hoping that it wasn't as serious as I thought. I was just thankful that it wasn't serious.
frustrated ground inside lying precaution sat taken team time
I just think more precaution should be taken when I'm inside the pocket. Look at all the replays - I'm on the ground every time. It's unfortunate for myself, it's unfortunate for my team and I'd be lying if I sat here and said I wasn't frustrated right now.
ball three turned
We turned the ball over three times, ... You can't do that in this league.
atlanta beat bit both critical focus games great looking obviously ourselves playing road sides situation step week win work worry york
We are very critical of ourselves and of how we play and what we do as Atlanta Falcons, ... We know that we have some work to do on both sides of the ball, and that's what we are looking for from our team: improvement. It would be a great situation to be in, 5-2 and 1-0 in the division. It's a great step for us, and obviously as we come back we have to win games and step our own game up a little bit as we get into playing more divisional opponents. We have to really focus in and beat New York this week and worry about what is down the road a little bit later.

It was about making plays when we had to,
change changed instrument
I stand before you a changed man. Use me as an example of an instrument of change.

The worst thing you can do is catch a team coming off a bad performance, ... Those are the teams that are the most dangerous. They will blow you out. You have to look at it like this: They are the defending world champions.
doctors precaution took
The way I feel and from what the doctors tell me, I don't feel like it's serious. We just took the precaution to come out.

coaching great
We are going to get it on, ... Two great coaching staffs, two great quarterbacks, two great teams. That's the way it should be.
cheer fans
I wanted to give the fans something to cheer about. Just wanted to get the jitters out, and I didn't want to shortchange the fans or myself.
emotions kid move time
Sometimes your emotions just take over. I know Marcus. He's not the kind of kid that's going to do something like that on purpose. That's just something he's got to live with, and now it's just time to move on.
bad guys selfish wrong
Sometimes being selfish is not a bad thing. Some guys just want the ball. They feel like they can make a difference. There is nothing wrong in that.
certain deal dogged everybody extra guys last people system time together ways work worked year
Everybody worked together to make the receivers better. Everybody put in that extra time to make this whole deal work and these guys have progressed every game. Last year was our first year in the system and people dogged us in certain ways but sometimes you've got to give people a chance.
