I just want to get (back) here soon and get started working with the team. I want to be familiar with all my teammates. That's going to be very important. |
I knew Andre Johnson and always wanted to play with him. He's an up and coming receiver, and I felt like the team is on a rise. This is a chance to start new, and an opportunity to play close to home where I grew up. |
I know I can still play and I just wanted to show people I can play. But you need opportunities. |
I played with 10 different quarterbacks and so now that I know that David Carr is the guy, he and I and Andre can just get on the same page and just work. We look good on paper right now. Now it's up to us to go out there and get it done. |
I still believe in him, but I think there comes a point where a light has to click on. He's going to make mistakes. He's not going to make every read right. But at the same time, you have to be on point as far as getting your passes out to receivers and let us make plays. |
I think competition is good. I had competition when I first came in. I wasn't given a starting job. I had to compete and beat out Quinn Early, a veteran player. So it pushes you to get better and get better fast. |
I think he was getting so much pressure . . . he was trying to rush his throws a little bit. He was missing guys on certain plays. |
I think he's played enough to get a chance. Hopefully, they'll give him an opportunity after this year to compete for the starting job. |
I think now defenses have to play more honest. They're going to have to account for Andre on the other side. They're going to have to account for me on one side if they double Andre. So our game is going to help each other out and I think it is going to help to make David Carr a more successful quarterback. |
I thought about that as the clock was running down at the end of the game. Me and Lee (Evans) were talking about it ? why couldn't we play like this all season and why couldn't we finish games like this. We just didn't get it done this year. |
I told him if I do that in a game, I'll owe him $10 a day until the season is over. It's better it happened in practice than a game when there would be 70,000 boos. |
I was so excited to get (Holcomb) in there and get him a chance to play. I know Kelly . . . he can get it done. When you got a veteran quarterback he can open it and do it a little more. |
I would tell them to get their tickets ready. You are going to see a show. It's not going to be the same Texans you've seen before. It's going to be an exciting time. |
I'm excited about it. I was optimistic through the whole deal, but at the same time, to get closure and get an opportunity to get it done is a big plus. |
I'm happy to get it done. This will be my 10th year with the Bills, and these days it's hard to play with one team for 10 years. I'm happy to be able to stay with the Bills. |
