This team showed an incredible mental toughness. It didn't let the storms of the game bother them. They weathered each one of them and this game wasn't in doubt at the end because they showed so much resolve.
Darrell's ability to come off the ball, his first three steps, are getting to be as good as anybody in football, ... He runs his routes in a way that is very hard to decipher between out-cuts and in-breaking cuts and the vertical game.
It was a good shot. It knocked me back to a certain degree and stung me pretty good.
The biggest factor today was big plays. We called some aggressive pass plays and were able to capitalize on some. Even the ones we didn't (connect on) scared the snot out of them.
Its discouraging, ... I thought wed score three to four touchdowns, I really did. We didnt get any big plays.
It's a great test. They have a very active defense, a defense that brings pressure, which quarterbacks love. Hopefully, it will open up a chance to make big plays.
Hit the ball pretty solid. Haven't played a lot of golf this year, so was really unsure of what it would be like. I've been playing pretty well lately, especially hitting the ball solid.
So I went way too in depth? I thought they wanted the hole by hole.
Ultimately, this is the type of situation where I can play my best football and inspire the people around me. Don't tell me that what the San Diego Chargers did last year -- or what the Rams did in 1999 -- two teams won't do next year. And we could definitely be one of those teams.
We're not afraid to say what we think we're going to do. I'm not a big believer in talking before the game, but this team has the ability to back up pretty much anything it says.
When you're not playing well as a quarterback, what I've learned is, you can't panic. The challenge with this football team is, when things go bad, people get frustrated. My challenge is not to let that happen.
They took some things away from us defensively and put us in some holes, and we had to try to catch up throwing the ball.
They're good. They rush everybody, they hit you,
Thats how it should be, ... Ive always been a believer that nobody should be safe, that you should have to earn your position week in and week out and perform. I expect that.
