drive game prepare reacting starting
I still feel like I'm getting the reps that I need to prepare myself for the season, ... Really the big thing is just starting the game and being in there for that first drive to see what (defenses) are doing and reacting to it.
cover games people prime recognized start video
Now we're getting recognized and (some of our) games are in prime time. People see him and he's on the cover of video games. So people start to notice.
attitude exactly game good last obviously point since sitting situation team time win
I don't think we're in a situation at all where anybody's overreacting here. I mean, obviously 2-3 is not where we thought we'd be at this point in the season, especially since I feel like we have a really good team and I feel like we're better than we were last year, ... But I think our attitude is and the way we look at it is, if we win this game we're sitting at 3-3, which is exactly where we were sitting at this time last year.
chance definitely felt game great line momentum
Definitely a game we should have won. To have the momentum we did, to be down on the yard-and-a-half line when we were up 14-10, we felt we had a great chance to put them away.
few game majority penalties provides rhythm start tempo
I think the penalties were down and I think the tempo was much better, ... We went no huddle for the majority of the game and that provides tempo and rhythm for us. Once you start getting a few first downs, you are able to really get going.
close decided division eight fight finish gaining games good job last learning losing lost matter players playoff point season spot time trying win year
I think it's still at the point of learning how to finish games. I feel like last year we did a good job of it. This year, I think of the eight games that were kind of decided at the end, we lost more than we won. Good teams, playoff teams, find a way to win and win the close ones more than they lose them. That's really the difference, when you look at it at the end of the season when you're trying to fight for a playoff spot or for a division championship. Unfortunately, we were on the losing end of those. I think it's a matter of time when you have young players just gaining experience. You learn how to win.
ball confident game happened passing running whether
It's just one of those things that hasn't happened yet. I'm confident we'll get him in the passing game as we go down the road. We'll also get him the ball in the running game. Whether it's running or passing, we'll get him his touches.
ball catching confident game happened involved lt passing running touches whether
It's just one of those things that hasn't happened yet. But I'm confident he's going to be very much involved in the passing game as we go down the road. We need to get LT his 30-plus touches a game, whether it's running the ball or catching the ball.
best both care football games guy happens known sign surprised takes term win
Definitely, it's best for both of us. Obviously, I'm not surprised by anything that happens any more. I've made it known I want to be here and, hopefully, that will happen. I'd like to say if it were up to me, they'd sign me long term and I'd be the guy here for my whole career. . . . You win football games and everything takes care of itself.
draft fourth guy last maybe million pay pick san says wall whatever year
It was disappointing to have that happen, because I think that was maybe the writing on the wall that says this is my last year in San Diego, ... This is the last year on my contract, and they're going to pay this guy $15 million or whatever it is that the fourth pick in the draft gets, so I know what that means.
laughed room today weight
Me and Gates, we laughed in the weight room today because that wasn't our 'A' game,
adjust perfect throw trust
The linebacker had his back to him. If I throw it out in front, I've got to make a perfect throw. I throw it in the back of the linebacker knowing, because I trust Keenan, he'll adjust and make a play.
handle learned rookie short ways york
I think that being in New York and having that rookie year, he's been through a lot in a short time, and he's learned ways to handle it.
shoot watch
The idea was to be real inconspicuous, shoot over there, watch some of the game, don't be a bother, come back,
