I know when I'm healthy, I can compete with any quarterback in this league and help this team win. To have that scenario next year is pretty exciting for me. |
I look at the situation and the ball leaves my hands, and I am responsible and so I look at them as if they were my fault. This is a learning experience and we will make it through it and make the best of it, finishing up strong and come back firing next season. |
I remember the buzz around the state throughout two-a-days in the summer. During the game, I remember how hot it was and how raucous the crowd was. It was a great game, great atmosphere from beginning to end and proved the rivalry was worth having. We've been looking forward to this for a long time. |
I rushed it and the ball came out flat. It's one of those passes you'd like to have a string on it. You want to pull it back as quickly as you let it go. |
I think any time you go through an offensive change, it takes a full year to totally adjust and get comfortable, ... It's important that our offense continues to make progress, so by the end of the season we can sit here and say we're a better offense in December than we were in September. |
I think I can be very successful in his system, seeing how Steve McNair was very successful in his system, ... I'm very excited about the potential of this system and what I can do in it, but it's going to take some time. |
I think that Coach wants me to lead this team if at all possible. Obviously, as a coach, he has to make the final decision and he has to feel in his heart that he can believe in me and have no doubt that I can help our team win and lead this team. A lot of that has to do with my health. |
I think the one question Herm had was, 'Why?' |
I told him I was proud of him for all the work he's put in. After all the criticism he's been through, to do what he did this year is remarkable. When your organization drafts someone to replace you and you end up being the leader of a division champion, that's just inspirational. |
I was looking forward to this game, playing against a defense that gives us different looks and playing more than a couple of series. It was an opportunity that I squandered. |
I was praying he'd make that first one because you [media] guys would have been all over him, |
I will do everything in my power to help our team win, including waving a towel on game days. |
I?m still learning a lot in this offense. It doesn?t count until Sept. 11. |
I'm excited, ... Monday can't get here fast enough so I can get in there, get in the game and really focus on Kansas City. |
I'm not going to sit here and lie and say I've got it totally down, ... ... I'm not concerned. I'm just determined to help us get it done. |
