people proving wrong
I've been proving people wrong for a long time,
chance chip excited gave given guys people proving relish wrong
A lot of people say I play with a chip on my shoulder, ... I don't have a chip. I'm in the NFL; there's no chip. I'm just excited to be playing, and excited to get the chance I've been given here. And I want to keep making the guys who gave me a chance look good, and the people who didn't look bad. I do relish that, but I've been proving people wrong for a long time.
eliminate far game goal stop supposed type
You get the MVP out of the game and you are supposed to stop them, and we didn't. It wasn't really the type of game he wanted to be in. Our goal was to get the MVP out of there. Not as far as injury, but just eliminate him from the game and make them one-dimensional. That is what happened.
You just want to come to a winner.
continuity gotten guys playing step
We haven't gotten any continuity back there with guys being comfortable playing together. It's tough. That can make you a step slower.
approach best good reason
You know what you're going to get from him every week, and that's what's best for us. I know it's the reason why we're good this year. We take the same approach every week.
beat game goes hat phenomenal played worked
My hat goes off to No. 8. He played a phenomenal game and, single-handedly, he worked to beat us.
great guy line offensive people skill team
When you have a guy like that with a great offensive line and great skill people around him, he is going to thrive. I think it's more so their whole team than one player.
football needed offense seven win
We were down seven and needed to make a stop, give our offense a chance. We didn't do it. We fought, but this is not boxing. We've got to win football games.
excuse
It's the first game, but there's no excuses,
beauty coming fit great team
The beauty of it is that I'm coming to a team that's already great. I just want to fit in and be part of this great organization.
coming created instead start talking
It just hasn't come. I think they will come, and when they come, they'll start coming in bunches. But isn't it better to be talking about why haven't we created turnovers when we're 3-1, instead of why haven't we created turnovers at 0-4?
adjustment ball came good
It was a very good play by him. He made a good adjustment to the ball and I didn't. I've got to do a better job. When I looked, I thought the ball was going to come to one side. It actually came to the other, which is something they practice.
best both cap close figure money offers redskins work
I want to be here, and the Redskins have let me know they want me back, but we have a lot of cap trouble. We have to figure out a way to make something work that's in both of our best interests. The money doesn't even have to be equal. It just has to be close to what someone else offers for me to stay.
