In practice, you can only simulate so much stuff. When you're live, things are different. You can't always drop back, set your feet, and throw the ball. You've got to be able to move around back there and make people miss and find your guys. I think Stefan does that extremely well.
He's gonna be very good. I've always known that. He's just in his second year and when things start going bad for you, sometimes it just continues to go that way.
In practice, you can only simulate so much stuff, ... When you're live, things are different. You can't always drop back, set your feet, and throw the ball. It doesn't happen in this League, not with the way defenses move around and guys play. You've got to be able to move around back there and make people miss and find your guys. I think Stefan does that extremely well.
He's playing great right now, ... He's doing some good things, but I guess it gets a little overshadowed by our 1-2 start. I know it bothers him that we're 1-2. He's not one to be satisfied just because he's playing well. He knows he can get better and he wants to get better, and he works at it. That's what I love so much about him. He's a competitor.
He has so much power, he keeps on moving and grinding those legs. It was beautiful to watch. He just kept on going.
Their front four really create pressure. When you have to throw the football and the defensive line can just pin their ears back and go, it is not a fun day sometimes.
Peyton would tell you that, too. Eli is a big, good-looking kid who can throw the ball well. The thing that separates Peyton is his work ethic and how he prepares himself. Eli went to Ole Miss and did pretty darn well without the best cast around him. I think he'll do just fine. He's just a very good athlete who can throw the ball extremely well.
You see these places (on TV), and it just hits you right in the heart, ... You try to do what you can money-wise or clothes-wise to help in any way. We just play a game. For these people, it's their life.
Hopefully, we can have a good drive, maybe get some points, a touchdown instead of a field goal,
Numbers might look pretty, but at the end of the day it's all about what happens on the scoreboard.
I gave Steve a little signal. I kind of knew I wanted to go that way. I tried to hold the safety in the middle of the field and (Smith) just runs right by him.
I'm a fan of it. I enjoy watching, and you don't get an opportunity that often. Usually you're playing on Sunday.
This team has been here before. Guys want to make plays. Guys don't have big eyes in the huddle.
There is something about guys that either don't get drafted or get drafted late and have success. You really kind of pull for those guys. We were lucky enough to get chances. Kurt Warner is the same way. Marc Bulger and that guy from New England (Tom Brady).
