They push us every day. When you talk about the front seven that we have, I don't think you're going to find a faster front seven in the league. . . . We've seen them create turnovers over the last couple of weeks because of that speed.
This isn't anything major, just disappointing. Obviously this is going to take the rest of the season, so that's the disappointing part of it. I'm just thankful that it is what it is, that it will not require any surgery, and that it will be a three to four week injury.
You never want to take a shot that's not an educated risk, ... But I'm beginning to learn, because of people telling me and showing me on film, those are a little more educated than they might have been elsewhere.
I thought Eli looked poised. It was one of those games where, fortunately for him, he wasn?t called upon to do a whole lot. They had a lot of big runs and he had a couple of screens that were probably his biggest plays. I think the game played out the way they wanted it to. They took the pressure off him, which allowed him to continue to grow and get better.
Guys hang on every word because they just feel the confidence that comes from him: 'This is what we're going to do, this is how we're going to win. They can pretty much take what he says to the bank.
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.
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.
We needed to get back to the mistake-free, care-free, fun-loving football that we're used to playing, ... This has got to give us a lot of confidence.
With the talent I've been around, and I've been around a lot of talent, this team matches up very favorably with the talent that I've been around.
Yeah, I think, yeah, in New York it was really a chance to showcase what I could still do and try to present myself with an opportunity like here in Arizona, ... It's where I can play the game the way I wanted to and hopefully write my own story.
We just made some mistakes. We killed ourselves. It wasn't physical. It was mental. That's the frustrating part. You know physically you match up pretty well with them.
The bottom line is about the technique. The little things. Fine-tuning what we have to do. No matter who is out there, maybe theyre not going to be as good, quote-unquote, as the starters may be, but the bottom line for us is to make sure were doing the right things.
I am where I am because I believed and I never gave up...
I got my career started late so, even though I'm getting older, I don't have as much wear and tear on my arm. I feel good. I really do.
