It's a critical game. We're both first in the MEAC,
They've lost a lot of players. They're banged up and injured and all that. But they've got that 'X' factor.
It's more of a thinking man's game. It isn't easy to be down in a three-point stance one play and rush the quarterback, and get up and turn and drop and cover a receiver or back the next. I think it will be a good fit once I learn what the heck I'm doing.
It's a lot of stuff to learn, but I love it. We want to be the aggressors, the ones throwing things at them to see if they can handle it instead of waiting for them to come at us. Sometimes it puts you in tough spots, leaving the secondary out on an island, but I'd rather take my chances with it that way. We came out ahead of them with it today.
It's like the whole hurry-up and wait thing. It means to go after it but to also make sure you get it right the first time.
Oh well, we tied it. Stats are for fans, anyways.
It won't happen again. We know they are a better team than that.
All in all, when you pressure a quarterback and when you get hits on him and take him out of a rhythm, it's tough for him to get going and their offense to get going.
If you come back and say, 'Look guys, I made a mistake. I'm back. I'm ready to go and I'm with you,' .... it is easy to forgive. We've all made mistakes in life and done things we all regret. If anybody sat here and said they didn't, then they are lying. It's easy. You can't hold a grudge forever.
For $15, I mean, it's a lifesaver. Or, it could be a lifesaver.
It kind of upset me to see it again hanging in the hallway, but when you win it, you can do that. I'm glad they got fined by their team, but I'm not big on bulletin-board stuff. If you need a bulletin board to get you going for Sunday, then you need to get a new line of business.
It's disappointing we can't continue this, but we did it to ourselves. It's tough to end the season as one of the league's hottest teams. But we've just got to deal with it.
It was a mistake by me. I should have been on the other side. It's not a good feeling. I saw what the route was going to be and just misplayed it. I could have made a play on the ball, but I just misplayed it.
I'm good now, ... I'm back among the living.
