It wasn't that bad. Everyone wants to talk about that, about how much I got beat up. I don't realize what other quarterbacks go through. All I know is what I go through, and I just assume that's pretty much what everyone goes through. |
It's a humbling experience. We came in high as a kite, and everyone was telling us how good we are. We met a team that matched us in intensity and physicalness. |
It's about trusting what you see. It's open, throw the ball and throw it with some authority. Don't try to baby it in there. |
It's just something you have to grow from and get over. |
It's not a gambling style, it's just an aggressive style. It's sometimes I've got to stick this throw in there. Most of the time it works, but sometimes it doesn't. |
Mentally, I think there's a lot of things I learned. I've got to get back to work, get ready to go. Coach called it a competition and let's start competing. |
My favorite ever, I mean, Brett Favre, you have to have the jitters. Just watching him, you're in awe and you're on Lambeau Field. |
Of course it's frustrating. (Tampa Bay) played Cover 2 most of the game and we tried to get the running game going and we couldn't. Even with all that, there were opportunities to make some plays. I missed a couple throws and that's unacceptable in the NFL. |
People talk about movie stars and athletes like they know them just because they met them or shook their hand, |
Regardless of if we get into the red zone or not, big plays need to be made and touchdowns need to be made. |
Some things never go as planned ... I've got to roll with it, |
Sometimes you get so caught up, it's just a game and you don't think it's pre-season. |
That was probably one of the worst passes I have ever thrown in my life. The guy was wide open, and I just didn't want to miss it. And in this league you can't do it because everyone has catch-up speed. |
The biggest thing right now is to stay together. There's going to be a lot of people from outside these walls, trying to pull us apart. And the one thing we can't do is point the finger at each other or anybody else. |
The coaches haven't made me feel that I just have to hand off the ball and be smart. You have to take your chances. You have to be aggressive. You have receivers in Eric Moulds and Lee Evans. You have to trust it. |
