ball fine job move offensive people starter talented ways
We have talented guys, and my job really is to get those people the football. As a backup, you just want to go in and not have any hiccups when the starter is out of the game. Just move the ball and have things work. It's like being an offensive lineman in some ways -- you don't want to be noticed. That's fine with me. I don't need a lot of attention, don't want it.
backed care momentum needs urgency
Especially when you're backed up like that, there needs to be a real sense of urgency to take care of the ball. That could be a real momentum swing.

You know how some coaches are on such a tight schedule? With Coach Gibbs, his 10 a.m. meeting might start at 10:05, 10:15, whenever he wanted to start it.

I thought the offense did OK at the start. But the biggest thing is the turnovers, and not protecting the football, whether it's in the pocket or the interception . . . it's tough to win when the defense is scoring off your offense.

I saw it on TV, ... and I thought it might be the end of the season for Eli. I couldn't see him coming back up and walking off the field.

He doesn't care about guys rushing him one bit.
decisions learn played
I'll probably be pretty disappointed with how I played and some of the decisions that I made. I'll just try to learn from it and become a better player.

I kind of get nervous sometimes watching him play, more so than when I play.
backed secure urgency
A miscommunication. When you are backed up like that you have a sense of urgency to secure the football.
