a really hard worker and really nice. |
Hopefully this will turn things around and get this franchise back to its winning ways. |
I can't tell you why, but I do. I've played a lot in the preseason at the end of games when sometimes you are losing. We're in two-minute shotgun. We run some pretty basic plays. Maybe that's what I do best. |
I feel as good as I've ever felt about throwing the ball and about reading defenses, ... But it's still a learning process every day and I soak up as much as I can from my coordinators. |
I made some plays. I made some mistakes, but they were more mental than physical. I made some, I thought, NFL throws, and it gave me the confidence that, `Hey, I could do it just like these guys are doing it.' |
I proved to myself more than anything that I could play in this league, |
I'm the insurance policy. Gus Frerotte is the starting quarterback. We have a lot of faith in him. He's going to win a lot of games for us -- period. |
It's a very competitive league as far as quarterbacks positions, |
Some coordinators don't want any input from wide receivers or running backs, but I think Scott really likes that input. So it seems to work here. |
The proof is in the pudding. There's many factors, but the results have certainly been positive. |
There's a lot of stories out there, guys like Trent Green, Rich Gannon ... about guys who were patient and kept working. |
We have full confidence in Gus that he's going to do a great job, |
We have full confidence in Gus that he's going to do a great job. Gus is a smart guy. He works really hard. He knows the offense inside and out. And he has seen every defense known to man over the 12 years of his career. |
We'll take as many good running backs as we can get. Obviously he's got some exceptional abilities. |
We've got Denver coming up, ... I'm preparing like I'm a starter. That's what you have to do whether you're a starter or a backup. |
