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.
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.
account alert burden forces harder prepare puts style work
It forces you to adjust. You've got to prepare for T.J., and his style. Warrick and his style and the things I can account for. It just puts a burden on a defense. It makes them have to work that much harder to be alert for different things, and that's to our advantage.
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.
coming everybody happen hard might pay season trying work
I'm coming out this season to show everybody that I'm the best, or trying to be the best, or one day, that I'll be the best, ... It might not happen this year. It might happen in '07 or '09. One day, you're just going to see all the hard work pay off.
ball three turned
We turned the ball over three times, ... You can't do that in this league.
plays
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.
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
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.
