afraid attacks ball bigger excellent goes good plays route runner runs slug
He plays a lot bigger than he is. He's an excellent route runner and he runs well after the catch. He goes up and attacks the ball and he's not afraid to go in and slug it out with you. That's what makes him a good receiver.
deep dug felt half intensity needed ourselves sluggish
We were really sluggish in the first half and I felt that we didn't come out with the intensity that we needed to come out with. We just dug ourselves a pretty deep hole.
aspect ball beginning obviously offense sluggish thrown
We were a little sluggish at the beginning because we hadn't thrown the ball a lot all year. That's obviously an aspect of our offense that we're going to have to get better at.
beating eagles
Beating the Eagles is still beating the Eagles.
character matter
We don't give up. No matter what, we keep fighting. That's the character of this team. And I think we can grow.
hard learning mental progress work
I think I've made a lot of progress. But I think I have a lot to work on in the mental part of the game. I need to just keep learning every day. I'm really hard on myself to be the best.
guys tradition
Those are the guys who started this tradition and honor.
behind fall guys hit mean rally seems spot tough trying
Guys are always trying to rally each other when we fall behind or hit a tough spot in a game. It just seems to mean more when Vince does it because he always delivers.
enjoy feeling great hear name running
I didn't get my name called though. It will be a great feeling to hear my name announced, but I enjoy just running out when my name is not called.
cause focused helping locker tension totally
I don't get too focused on what (the coaches) are thinking, because if I do that, I can't focus on what I'm doing. If you do, when you're out on the field, you think about it. When you're in the locker room, it can cause tension and cause you not to be totally focused on helping the team. I try not to get sidetracked.
sit
I didn't come here just to sit back,
behind focused junior learned mike obviously playing prepare start starter stay tennessee year
Obviously you want to start, but if I don't start I still have to prepare like I'm a starter because you never know what's going to happen, ... That's something I learned in college. During my junior year I was playing behind Mike Doss now with Indianapolis and Donnie Nickey now with Tennessee so I just had to stay focused and ready.
against mix near obviously people stuff successful sure teams yards
Obviously with the yards and stuff he's done this year, not too many teams have been successful against him. I think you have to mix it up on him and make sure you have people near him all the time.
course starter surprising
Of course it's going to be surprising to me; I'm a starter and I feel I should be a starter.
