It's kind of hard to calm yourself down. But, you know, you have got to keep your composure in a game like this and understand the big picture. And that is just winning the football game. It's not about pushing and shoving and getting 15-yard penalties, because that doesn't prove anything. |
It's so unfortunate that this happened at this point, when things really seem to be rolling for us, |
It's tough. We didn't go out and do what we needed to do. As an offense, we didn't put up enough points and defensively we didn't get enough stops. |
It's up to the quarterback to know his responsibilities in the two-minute situation, ... We had to focus in and really see the field when it counted. |
Just because he's my brother, that doesn't give him the right to step on another player's leg during a game. It doesn't give him the right to get into some of the other situations he's gotten himself into. |
Just because I got injured doesn't mean that my confidence level is going to go down, ... The same thing happened to me against Seattle, and I came back and had one of my best games against Buffalo. Injury doesn't scare me. |
Make your next game your best game. |
Making plays when you have to, making big plays in a tough environment, you ask yourself the question, 'How bad do you want to get to 2-1?' ... 'How bad do you want to win this game?' |
Man, this time last year, I was just trying to make the right reads, ... Now I know 90% of the playbook. I'm seeing it. It's just a matter of getting the ball there. |
Maybe they could be wrong, and maybe they could be right, |
My goal is not to be a great NFL quarterback, |
My goal is to play within the offense, like I did last week. I learned to trust the guys around me. If I have to resort to running at some point in time, then I'll do it. |
My perception of the West Coast thing is starting to change too. We're not doing what I see Seattle doing or San Francisco doing or Green Bay doing. We're not doing those things. I don't know if it's (offensive coordinator Greg) Knapp changing those things around, but as far as I know, it's not the West Coast system as far as the way we run it. |
No, I ain't mad. He didn't do anything wrong. The world will all know when the truth comes out. |
No! ... If need be, I'll run just as much as I did last year. The thing now is I know how to protect myself. A few years ago, I was running reckless. Now, I'm sliding and getting out of bounds for the longevity, baby — for my season, for my career. |
