(Smith) says I'm the guy, and they're behind me. I think the offense is behind me, and (so is) the defense. |
[He got his second midway through the third quarter after a 55-yard interception return by cornerback Charles Tillman set up the Bears at the Viking 3.] Des made a great individual play on that [first] touchdown, ... He had a great game for us. |
[Orton's] got my vote. |
But I've got an excuse, ... Well, actually two. I'm a rookie, and I play for the Bears. |
By the time the game comes I'll be extremely ready. More than anything I pride myself on preparing to play a good game. That's not going to change. I'll be even-keeled. |
Come Week 1 we're going to see so many different defenses, especially with a rookie quarterback. They're going to be bringing stuff we haven't seen on film. We're just going to have to see it, adjust and go from there. |
Des made a great individual play on that [first] touchdown. He had a great game for us. |
Desmond made a great individual effort on the that TD, |
Far and away the toughest thing for me to get used to has been that you have to recognize the blitz and know what adjustment the receiver is going to make. |
For me, I don't think it causes any problems in the locker room, |
He has got a lot of confidence, ... They have a high degree of confidence in Kyle. He has inspired their confidence. |
He played well. Moose is that veteran guy that has played in big games before. He's big for our offense. |
He's a hard-nosed guy. For him to play hurt, that's great. |
Hopefully we can get on a roll, keep winning in the division, stay in the race and have a chance to win it at the end. |
I didn't play well. I didn't make good decisions. You can't play like that and turn the ball over five times and expect to win a game. |
