fine football guys selfish takes understand win
We understand that it takes 11 guys to win a football game. We do not have any selfish guys on the football team. That is fine with me.
burdens expect people rush super takes throw time understand win work yards
They place burdens and expectations on me, ... What people don't understand is that it takes time in this game. They expect me to win a Super Bowl. They expect me to go out and throw for 4,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards every season. But it doesn't work like that.
carries extra game knows line offensive takes yard
He knows what it takes to get the extra yard and what it is to get 20 carries a game and to make the offensive line go.
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.
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.

I stand before you a changed man. Use me as an example of an instrument of change.
bad blow catch coming defending team teams worst
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.

People can say what they want to say,
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.
