I didn't have time to think about it, |
I knew right when he got hit that he was going to be dazed. I didn't have time to think about it. I had been standing around all day. I just had to get loose. I was excited. You never want to see someone go down, but I've been waiting for this opportunity for three years. |
I knew right when Jake got hit that he was probably going to be dazed, |
I was excited, ... You never want to see someone go down, but I have been waiting for this opportunity to get out on the field. It was the perfect situation. |
I was excited. You never want to see someone go down, but I've been waiting for this opportunity for three years to get on the field. It was a perfect situation. There was a calmness about our football team when I went out there. Everybody just said, let's go down and score. |
If things for the future don't work out here, I've got to be ready to pack my bags and go play somewhere else, |
It wasn't all pretty, but we hit the plays that counted, ... It seemed like we were stopping ourselves forever. I told the guys, 'Just stay focused, sooner or later we're going to bust one.' |
Ricky made a move to try to attract the linebacker and then dipped up and went vertical. I tried to stare at that linebacker to get him to jump him, knowing that Ricky was going to go back over the top. We work that play with Ricky a lot. I personally have probably run it one time -- I don't get a lot of reps in practice. But that's kind of been one of our staple plays down in the goal-line area. |
There are 52 other guys on this football team that were counting on me when Jake went down and that's probably the most satisfying thing. |
This is what dreams are made of. It has been too long. |
You don't really know if you're ready until you get the opportunity. But I felt as comfortable as I've ever felt playing quarterback in this league. |
