I promised him that I would get him four game balls. I'm glad that I could fulfill the promises that I made to him.
balls criticism knocking mph people plays wind winds
People need to realize, and I know they won't, that there was 45 mph winds out there, and it was tough, ... A lot of those plays were not (Tommy's) fault. The wind was knocking the balls down. There was no way he should have got the criticism he did.
ball pass screen threw
I threw the ball so hard. You would have thought I threw a little screen pass to him.
ball last played threw time turn win
The last time we played them at home, we threw a lot more. I think if we don't turn the ball over, then we probably win that game. So if it comes down to that, I think we can (win).
ball good reads seems special
It seems like he can make all the reads before the ball is even snapped. It's like he's got some special powers, that's how good he is,
ball close decide grabbed knew leg luckily reaction saw slow sudden turned watch
I turned to watch him get in the end zone. All of a sudden I see the ball just go flying. My first reaction is just to go get it, but I knew I wasn't going to get there in time, so then it's let's try and slow him down. I think I turned him enough times that he got close to me and he couldn't decide which way to go, so now I just saw his leg and grabbed it, and luckily he went down.
beard bit depression ended game kept lose lost mad next people shave until winning won
I was so mad that we lost the game. I kind of went into a depression and didn't shave and we ended up winning the next game. And I am kind of superstitious - just a little bit to people who know me - but we won that game and I said I am just going to keep it going until we lose and we kept it going. I don't really like the beard you know. But we were winning so I had to keep it going.

It is a growing-up process. I'm a long way from mastering anything.
clicking figure plays practice time worried
I'm not worried about it. I feel comfortable with where we're at. We're not clicking on all cylinders, but we're clicking on most cylinders. That's why this is the preseason. This is time for us to practice and figure out what we need to do to make the plays when it counts.

I'm just trying to take it one step at a time and be better prepared for everything that is thrown my way and just making sure mentally that I'm sharp.

It's great to be back. This is the first time I've seen the stadium since they fixed it up.
balanced couple last offense proven stops throw win won
At the end of the season, everyone said if we had to throw and someone stops the run, we won't be able to win because we can't throw the ball. The last couple of games, we've won by throwing. When you put it on our shoulders, we've proven we're a balanced offense and we can throw.
