excited extremely felt good
They were extremely excited to have me be a part of their organization, ... That, more than anything, made it a good fit. Once they got involved, it just felt right.
bottom build couple feeling good line matter plays rhythm time weeks
The bottom line is to try to get into as much of a rhythm as we can before that first game. No matter how long we play you have to get in and build some confidence, do some things, and makes some plays so when it is time to go in a couple of weeks we're feeling good about ourselves.
type
It's a different type of mentality, and here I have a lot on my shoulders,
strong
They're long and they're strong to the ball. You can put it in traffic, and they're going to come up with it.
drops guy wrong
I'm the wrong guy to ask. I'm only doing seven-step drops out there.
happen hope maybe optimistic rather sooner
I think it is going to be sooner rather than later, so I'm very optimistic about it. Maybe not as optimistic as to hope I could be out there on Sunday, but optimistic that it'll happen soon.
battling gain increased respect teammates
I think you gain something with your teammates when you do, when they see you battling through stuff. I don't know if they look down on you when you don't, but I know there's an increased respect when you do.
allowed animosity came course dreamed fulfill gave nobody
Of course how it all came to an end was not how I had dreamed it up and was disappointing for me, ... But how do you have any animosity for an organization that gave the opportunities that they gave me, that allowed me to fulfill a dream when nobody else would?
allowed although chance coach definitely game great hurts looking offensive played success team willing
I was looking for someone that was willing to give me a chance to play the game the way I played again. He definitely allowed me to do that. ... It wasn't necessarily what he had done with quarterbacks in the past, although it never hurts to be a part of a team or with a coach that has had great offensive success and great success with quarterbacks.
strange team
It wasn't that strange at all. This is my team now.
extent felt groin obviously sprint
I don't really know what happened. When I started to sprint out to my left, I just felt my groin give out actually two times on the play. The extent of it we obviously don't know yet.
good guess high obviously recover teams time
Obviously it's very disappointing with high expectations. I guess the good thing is there are not that many teams that are 2-0, and we still have a lot of time to recover and get back on track.
basically center coming fourth guys mixing offensive talking work
I still think we have a lot of work to do, but guys are getting more comfortable and coming into their own. We have a lot of guys mixing in and out of the offensive line. You're talking basically the fourth center we've had in four games.
great group last mesh offensive people snap strides week
You don't have to maul people on every snap to be a great offensive line, ... but you do have to mesh together. You do have to be smart, know who you have to get to and how to get to them. Last week I think we made strides in that area. The group that we've got in there now mesh well together, they're smart, they know what to do.
