fancy game run spy stop
We don't see too much of a spy look anymore, ... because of our run game and because of some of the things that we do. We see more straight-up coverage. ... They try to stop me that way and not be fancy with it.
goal guys last learned point resort running trust within
My goal is to play within the offense, like I did last week. I learned to trust the guys around me. If I have to resort to running at some point in time, then I'll do it.
baby bounds few last protect run running sliding
No! ... If need be, I'll run just as much as I did last year. The thing now is I know how to protect myself. A few years ago, I was running reckless. Now, I'm sliding and getting out of bounds for the longevity, baby for my season, for my career.
communication game guys intact offense passing run totally
The passing game will be totally different, ... We have guys that can make some plays. We have guys that can run now. I think we're more intact with what we are doing as an offense and as a whole. The communication and camaraderie is there. We are ready.
add chains clock football games great opportunity running third win
We had a great day on third down. Third down is how you win football games in this league. You keep the chains moving, you keep the clock running and you give yourself another opportunity to add some points.
believe game guys hammer job leading maybe run throw together victory
It's 11 guys doing their job. If we hammer them, hammer them, throw it, and then run it at them, then maybe victory will come. At the same time, I have to be doing my job and the receivers have to be blocking. There are a lot of things that come together to make the run game work. We believe in it, which is why we are leading the league.
counter run teams throw
They try to keep me in the pocket, try to make me throw the ball, ... So what do we do? We gash them in the run game. We've got a counter for everything teams try and do.
ball bit might player run team
I run the ball a little bit more than other quarterbacks so, that might take away from some of his catches. You have to be a team player when you come here.
football game plays run whether winning
I think that is our identity, ... We run the football whether it's Warrick, T.J. or me. That's what makes our game go. If that's the way it's going to be, as long as we keep winning and as long as I make my plays when I have to, things are all good.
perceive runner running whatever
Whatever they want to say, whatever they want to perceive me as ? just a running quarterback or a runner ? it does not matter. I'm a winner.
bay change changing coast far francisco green perception run san seattle starting system west
My perception of the West Coast thing is starting to change too. We're not doing what I see Seattle doing or San Francisco doing or Green Bay doing. We're not doing those things. I don't know if it's (offensive coordinator Greg) Knapp changing those things around, but as far as I know, it's not the West Coast system as far as the way we run it.
attempts ball easier game good hurting maybe passing pressure run takes throw
I don't know if I can, ... Maybe not, man. My passing attempts are not where they need to be. I need to throw the ball 30 to 40 times a game for me to have those numbers, but our run game's so good that I won't say it's hurting me, but I won't complain, because it's a lot easier and it takes a lot of pressure off me, too.
football running strong
The good thing is I don't put the ball in my right hand and I'm predominantly left-handed when I'm running the ball. I just have to take care of the football and even if I have two hands that are 100 percent, I still can't turn the ball over. It's just something I have to mentally prepare for, and I think I'm strong enough to do that.
ball conscious effort hands knocked looking pocket protect run throwing time
If you think about the fumbles, one of them I was throwing the ball and the other time I wasn't looking and the ball got knocked out of my hands when I was in the pocket, ... I try to make an effort that every time I run the ball and every time I'm in the pocket I should protect it, but sometimes there is just nothing you can do about that. You see it all around the league, and it's just something that you have to be conscious of, but at the same time it's hard, to tell you the truth.
