He's brought a new flavor to this offense, ... He came in and simplified things for the young receivers so they can go out and play to the best of their ability. I think his career over his years at USC has been magnificent with the bringing along of quarterbacks. |
He's still a talent to be reckoned with. I don't know if he's talking about retirement because of the injuries but he's not declining skill-wise. |
I came in this morning and was still sore. I would've liked to have been able to go out and compete. As a competitor, especially against Jacksonville, it was tough to watch from the sideline. |
I came out today. It feels good. It worked itself out Monday and Tuesday. It won't be a big deal, |
I didn't think I was going to get back in the game, but Jeff let me come back in for another series. I was pleased with the end results. |
I don't think it's a rebuilding stage, ... It's just another challenge we look forward to. It's fun because we have a lot of young guys with a lot of energy who are willing to make sacrifices and do whatever it takes to win games. |
I finished the game. In my mind, if I finished the game, I can play next week. |
I hear stuff about the 'toughest quarterback in the league' and all that; what's that mean? You're playing with braces and casts and limp around? |
I just wanted to rest it for a day. I came out there, did something today and felt pretty good. Tomorrow I'll do more, probably all the team (drills). I just wanted to rest. I didn't want to take a chance of going out and getting it even more sore. |
I needed to take that first hit. I didn't want to go the whole preseason without taking that first hit. It felt good to go out and compete. |
I really find myself doing better when I'm injured, ... so sometimes I look forward to it. |
I said there are things to come. I told him, 'Don't rush it, just take your time and heal, because as long as you go out there and aggravate it, it's going to continue to get worse.' But he's got a good spirit and, hopefully, he won't be out that long. |
I said, 'I don't want to see no sad faces, no matter what happens good or what happens bad. We have to go out there and show a lot of confidence,' |
I see a more determined Calico this year. I think he took a lot of heat last year for not being consistent. ... From the two mini-camps I've seen him, he is out there working a lot harder, he is concentrating a lot harder and he is running great routes. |
I spotted Drew and I knew that is where I needed to go with the ball. I am disappointed, but never second guess yourself. Sometimes that is the way it goes. |
