My focus was not letting that happen. I never hung my head. I knew I wasnt playing good, but I also knew I had a bunch of football left.
This week we're playing against a great front seven, ... a team that knows how to pressure the quarterback and overload the run game and make you run uphill.
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.
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 feel so sorry for me because I am so old that I think they are playing a little better than they normally would.
But I never hung my head. I knew I wasn't playing good, but I knew there was a lot of football left.
The guy next to me is going to be best player out here when he starts doing it full time. A lot of us have been playing other sports.
It was all good if you were in the game to just pick up a paycheck,
I've been 'Favre'd' twice up here, ... So, I was a wreck on the sidelines. It was big to erase some of those demons.
Braylon wants to get better, and he wants to get a sense of timing and rhythm with me. After the one I just missed him down the middle, I went to the sideline and told him we're not there yet but we're going to get there this game.
The team the last couple years as taken a pounding emotionally,
You add him, and it's 70 catches, boom,
But that's not me. I feel most alive when I'm being challenged, when there is pressure involved. I felt like I was dying as a football player. And I always felt that I've never met my potential as a football player in this league. I was hoping to get one more chance. I didn't think I would.
I wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy,
