push
There's swelling, and it's painful, but I'm a warrior, ... I'm going to push through this.
tight winning
Not try to make mistakes. Just try to be calm, and play winning football. Not just me. Not just the linemen. Not just the backs. Not just the tight ends. Not just the receivers. Everybody.
ball field goal hands sure trying
Not trying to do too much at one time. Make sure that I keep the ball in our hands at the end of every possession: a touchdown first or a field goal or we punt the ball to them.
definitely football good talent took
I took some good shots. It's definitely disappointing. There's a lot of talent on this football team.
both good happy move opportunity
It wasn't that I wanted to get out. It's just, I think, for both sides, it was good for me to move on. Good for the Vikings, too. That's the way it happened, and I'm happy right now. I'm happy with the opportunity I have here.

Noise has never been a problem for me. It doesn't bother me one way or the other.
bad determined feels fix forth group happened head minimize players point sticking team throughout time veteran whether
Any time you lose, it feels bad whether it is by one point or by 20 points, ... You think about all the things that happened throughout the game. The turnovers, they are really sticking out in my head right now. Turnovers are going to happen, but we must minimize them. We must get back to the fundamentals. We have a veteran group of players on this team that has a lot of pride. We are embarrassed by the way we are playing. We put forth the effort, but we are just making too many mistakes. We need to fix these things and I am determined to fix them.

That's all behind me now. I'm here now looking forward and I'm glad to be here.

They did a great job of causing confusion and stopping the run, and putting guys in position to make plays.

The first thing I look at is a guy's effort and the way he approaches each day, the way he goes out and gets his work done. I have confidence in him that he'll stay that way.
approach changed close guy responsibility year
A guy that was really close to me is not here, but every year is different. I'm going to approach every day the same. I'm the quarterback, I have a responsibility and nothing has changed on my part.
balance showing
I think you'll see us showing more balance and being able to do even more with the ball.
began confident legal process truth
I was confident when the legal process began that the truth would come out.
