I'm going to be pumped up. This whole city, everywhere I go, whether it's to go eat, walk downstairs at my apartment, everyone is just talking about it. So I'll have to force myself to calm down. |
I'm here, I'm the starter now. It's my second year. We're going to get it rolling. |
I'm not happy. You're never happy when you're pulled. I'm trying not to take it personally ... but it's tough. |
I'm ready to roll, ... I'm getting calmer and more comfortable with the situation and things are falling into place. |
I'm sure they're going to do it early. I'm hoping for a lot, because it gives us some chances for big plays. That's something we've been studying since Day 1, so now's a chance to show it. |
I've just got to go out there and play, ... Just throw the ball like I know how to with authority, with some confidence. Sooner or later (the offense) is going to have a breakout game and get this thing rolling. |

If you had to replace a guy like that, you have to respect what he's done and understand that when you go into [that] situation ... for the rest of his life, he's always going to be remembered in that stadium. You have to respect the history and the legacy he left there. You have to respect that. You can't overdo it. That's the way you have to play it. |
In the back of my head, I'm always going to be thinking about the real thing. |
It hasn't gotten to a frustrating point, but if it drags throughout the year, I'm sure it will get frustrating to everybody. |
It just felt like that was our best chance to get things rolling, getting me comfortable, getting me in a little rhythm. I think it worked. |
It took a while to get started. I don't think it was nerves or anything like that. I just think the ball was coming out funny. I had a couple of tough catches there that the receivers possibly could have made but I could have definitely made it a lot easier. It just took a little while to get warmed up. |
It was a long, dragged out game. It seemed long anyway. |
It was a team effort. You can't script it any easier for us. |
It was exciting to come out strong tonight, especially after the slow start last week. I think definitely we got better this week. |
