Santana made some big plays. The biggest thing as a quarterback, when you are playing with a guy with that much speed, is you can't underthrow him. You have to throw it out there about as far as you can because he is going to run and get it. |
That allows me to put things in perspective, knowing I've got some priorities in my life. At the top is my relationship with God, and then my relationship with my wife and kids, and football's down there around three or four. Knowing that helps me be a good football player. |
That kind of criticism will continue until we turn things around here, ... I'm still not reading the papers. Nothing changes around here until we start scoring some points and winning. |
That remains to be seen. I do know for us we're battle tested. |
That was quite a while ago. But it's a great memory, one of the best games I've ever been part of, one of the best teams I've ever been part of. |
That's at the forefront of our minds -- getting the ball downfield. |
That's the avenue we're looking at, exploring our options at quarterback in free agency,'' Smith said. |
The basics start with playing smart football, not turning it over and also running the football and playing solid defense. That's how you win. We've been doing those things. The first part of the year we weren't. |
The offense that makes the most mistakes, that's the team that's going to lose. They had three turnovers, we only had one and it didn't hurt us. In a playoff situation like that, you realize that that is the most important (factor) - being smart with the ball and not giving it to them, because if you do, they're going to take advantage of it. |
The safety was bearing down on him. So I tried to get the ball up so he could make a play, and he did. |
There wasn't a lot there on the routes and the linebackers and safeties were so deep, ... It was good to be able to have some room to run. |
There's some things that have changed. There's some things that have stayed the same. But I think we're a better offense. We have a year under our belt with this system. |
These things even out, they really do, and sometimes you get a break. I felt like we got a break with Sellers that week, I really do. There's going to be games where you don't get the calls that you want. |
They had a good game plan, and they executed it. It was obvious that they had done their homework. |
