In this league, you've got to have strong leadership; you've got to be able to handle the ups and downs, ... Nobody had been through the ups here. We didn't have that structure set up to back the leadership that was in place. The inmates were running the asylum. |
It almost brought me to tears going in there to see him. |
It was a weird game. You felt like they were trying to hurry up and get the game over with, so they could get to (the playoffs). |
Other guys were shocked, ... It was discouraging. |
Sure there wasn't a penalty? |
That was an invitation, to me, to put my best foot forward. That's who I am. I love competitive situations. |
That's what they said, right now you're the guy in the huddle. When we go to the number ones, you're in there. That's the way I approach it. There's not going to be any politics played here with the new staff. The best guy is going to play. I feel comfortable where I'm at. |
The decisions he's making are awesome, ... He's just been so consistent, and he hasn't made any unforced errors. He's playing so well right now that we can falter a little bit in other areas and he's making up for it. |

The hardest thing for me is getting the timing back. But I was glad I had the chance today. If I go into a game in the postseason, then I feel like I will be more prepared. |
There's been quite a bit of interest. More than I expected. |
There's no sentiment in it for me. We still have a long road ahead of us. I think it's important for us to play well and fix some of the things that happened to us last week, but not at the detriment of next week's game. We have to be smart. |
This situation is easier for me because I know God is in control and this is what he wants, ... Whether I'm the first, second or third quarterback, I have to do the best I can with that role. I have to roll with it because I've spent nine years in a league I was told I couldn't make it in. I won't allow people to see this as disappointing now. |
We had that letdown, we didn't get that (second-half) field goal and it kind of deflated us. We never recovered from that. |
When you get to the playoffs, you know you're the only game going on and you know everybody is watching and you know the ramifications. You have to maintain an even keel. You can be down 10 or up 10, you can't let that affect you. |
