We're resilient. We don't let a lot of things bother us. There's a lot going on and people making too much of what it is. We have a lot of football to go. I think we're just hitting our stride and really can get on a roll here. |
We've been going back to that game quite a bit (studying film), and I think that was my best game, against a good defense too. We threw the ball right away and I was able to get into a rhythm early. With a running offense like we have, you have to put a premium on starting off strong. |
We've got to execute on our plays. We have guys who can put points on the board, but if we don't execute, we can't do it. |
When you're dropping back, you don't expect to hit someone. |
Whenever anybody blitzes, ... there are certainly chances to make plays, whether it be down the field or hitting the crease or whatever, and I think I can see it. |
Whenever I'm on the field I feel confident I'm going to help the team win and do whatever I can. Like I said, it's not my decision. I'm just going to try to prepare myself and be ready to go. |
Win or lose, we're still going to have to get better and go from there, ... It's not a make-or-break game in our season, by any means, but obviously our goal is to start 1-0 and if we do, great. If we don't, then obviously we've got to get back to work. |
You get a lot thrown at you, ... And you're not 100 percent comfortable with your offense. But with the offensive line that we have and with the receivers that we have, and especially with the defense, we're going to be in every single game. That's going to take a lot of the pressure off the quarterback as long as he doesn't make mistakes. |
You'll have to ask coach Smith. I think I played pretty well. I had one good drive out of two. |
