(Rivers) won't ever hurt you by running with the ball. ... |
A lot of it is timing. You've got Drew, who had the great year last year, and then I'm here and Cleo's here. We're all young (Rivers is 23, Brees 26). |
Drew has solidified that he's the guy. He's had two solid years. |
Drew was a heck of a teammate and a heck of a player. He's a guy I had a lot of fun being around and supporting. |
Drew was a heck of a teammate, a heck of a player, a guy I had a lot of fun being around and supporting. I wish him the best on the recovery of the injury, which is the one thing I hated to see happen. |
Drew, when he said something, it was important. But he was more of a quiet leader that led by the way he worked. And that's a heck of a way to do it. I'm a little bit more vocal and excited and emotional type of leader. And that way works too. |
Everybody in this room can be a team guy as much as he wants to, but there comes a point when it's: 'What is best for me, for my career? For my career, it's best that I start playing. |
For the most part, the feedback I've got is that they're not going to mess with the motion. I think there needs to be a problem before it needs to be fixed, and I don't think there is right now. If there becomes one, I'm going to do be open to do all I can do to get better and make it work. |
He proved it in college when people thought he was too small. He might not be an inside-the-tackles runner, but we've got the best in the game for that. He can give us a changeup. |
I feel like I'm getting better, I really do, ... I do feel a lot more comfortable in there. I don't go out there with doubts; there's no doubts. |
I love it here. But I want to play. I would rather play and be a starter somewhere else if I can't do it here. |
I say that confidently. I'm not by any means going to play the perfect game, but I feel like I can go in there and make the plays and get the things done that can win us a game, |
I think it's gradually gotten less awkward, from my freshman year until now. It's not really as awkward as it's made out to be. On certain [throws] it is, and one of the reasons to me is that if the guy's open five yards in front of me, you get it to him as quick as you can. There's no reason to make it look good, as long as it gets where it's supposed to be. |
I thought he was the best. I really did. |
I watch it every year. It's something growing up as a kid you watched, never dreaming you'd actually have a chance at it. Just to be there, to have Jason White and Larry Fitzgerald sitting next to you and think, 'Wow, what great company I'm in' -- even if I didn't win -- that would be a great accomplishment. |
