best best-friends game running
The running game is a quarterback's best friend.
club further past platform ten
This club has come a long way in the past ten years and this could be the platform to take it further forward.
good knew knock shots
I knew they were good shooters, and that if we didn't get out on them, they were going to knock shots down.
improvement takes whatever willing
I think a big thing with me is improvement. I'm young, and willing to do whatever it takes to get better.
few jars rattled
I rattled a few jars and roared at them at the interval.
chance college either feels high imagined levels locker played school special time twice
I played here twice in high school and twice in college -- same locker rooms, same sidelines, so it feels pretty special. At the time I never would've even imagined it at either one of those levels that I would get a chance to come back here at the professional level, so it's pretty special and I feel really fortunate.
ball bigger box crowd deal help passing rather respect sure turn win
I'm sure they're going to crowd the box and not give much respect to our passing game. The first win was a much bigger deal (than the first TD pass). To get that first one is a big deal, I'm not going to lie, but I'd rather do the little things, not turn the ball over and help us win.
bar best country days front good pushed tight
He always pushed the bar higher, and I think his best days are probably still in front of him. He's as good as any tight end in the country in my opinion.
college everybody eyes light nfl rolls target turns
It's just different. I had a target on me in college, but it's not like the target you have when an NFL quarterback rolls out of the pocket. Everyone's eyes light up, and everybody just turns and reacts to you. It wasn't like that at other levels.
compared definitely funny guess older seemed
It was definitely funny. But compared to his other seasons, it wasn't as good. I guess because with the other seasons, everything seemed so new. They really weren't as funny as his older stuff.
college deal guy guys met unusual
It was so unusual to deal with something like that. A guy I went to college with, one of the first guys I met when I got to Utah.
almost circumstance dream great learning matter
It's going to be a great learning experience, no matter what the circumstances are. This is the dream of almost every kid.
believed locker outside people room south
It's what we've been working for. We said we want to be NFC South champions. I don't know how many people outside the locker room believed that was possible.
coaches sees technique
That's all that my coaches are harping on now -- technique. He sees the will and the want to and the fight, and once that technique is down, then that's what makes the difference.
