Eric and Lee are going to draw a lot of double teams, so we've got to be able to throw to somebody else, ... As a slot receiver, I've got to get open. But the biggest thing is I've got to catch the ball. |
Every time you go out there it's an audition, |
He keeps preaching to me that that's the kind of receiver I can be. I watch him and I admire the guy, so I'm going to go out there and watch film of him because that's the kind of receiver I want to be, a nasty guy who does everything. |
I had to go out there and leave it all on the field. It has been (an intense) competition. There are a lot of guys who are hungry here, including myself. I'm sure it (was) a tough decision on the coaches. |
I knew the safety had rotated down and that I had the seam up the middle but I didn't think the corner was going to come up because we have a route outside of that. |
I would have wished it different today. They were better than us. But that's the good thing about this league. You always get another chance. New England isn't as strong as they were in the past, but they're still a good football team. At this level, you're never vulnerable. I mean, they won the Super Bowl last year. |
I'm anxious about what we can do. I think we'll surprise some people. |
It's like I'm trying to run before I get the ball. I don't make sure I have a good grip on it and let it slip away from me. The biggest thing is getting over that if it does happen and just move on. |
Take a look around the gym. We are all here playing basketball together. Otherwise, we would be standing on some corner. |
That was the table-setter for our season. Now we just know how good we are and we can take it from there. That really shifted the momentum back to us. |
The wind was really strong all day. It was very make-able. |
This is my job so I'm always concerned. I just wanted to go out there and give myself the best chance to make sure I still had a job. |
We can all play together here with no problem, but it is just a matter of time before there is another shooting on the streets. |
You try to tell people you don't think about it too much, but it was definitely like take a step back and breathe deep, ... There was a battle at the slot position going on and the coaches had a tough decision to make. Fortunately they have enough belief in me that I did well enough that they could use me again. I've got to make sure I go out there and continue to do my job and make sure that they're happy that they went in the decision they did. |
