Obviously, things are worst in the first 24 hours. It's a little sore right now, but hopefully it's not extremely serious.
best bunch continues guys louis played reminds run strength
Anquan reminds me a whole bunch of Torry: the way they run routes, their strength to the football. Larry's a big young receiver, continues to grow. Those two guys I played with in St. Louis are the two best receivers I ever played with. The guys here have the same potential.
allowed gave jump momentum plays pressure second sit snap
It just put so much pressure on everybody. You just can't sit there and try to do that snap after snap. There were just a lot of momentum plays we gave them that allowed them to get a jump in the second half.
ability continue demeanor far field football mentally physical stand
It wasn't necessarily anything he showed me on the football field as far as throws, or his physical ability or anything like that. It was just his demeanor in the way that he was able to mentally get through (adversity) and not only stand pat, but continue to ascend.
allowed animosity dreamed ended fulfill gave
I really don't. The thing is, of course, the way it ended wasn't how I dreamed it up. It was disappointing to me. But how do you have any animosity to an organization that gave me the opportunities that they gave me, that allowed me to fulfill a dream when no one else would?
decisions depending football help played plays throw
A lot more is depending on me to do things with the football, to make decisions to throw the football to make big plays and help us win. That's more of what I'm used to doing. That's more of how I played in St. Louis. It's more the way I like to play.
certain design great guy job larry nature next offense routes running somebody
It was just the design of the defense, ... They were doing certain things certain ways, and it's kind of the nature of the beast. One guy in this offense has a lot of success. It can be somebody completely different the next game. Larry did a great job running his routes and making plays.

I didn't want to be in a situation where somebody would have to do bad for me to get my opportunity,

I love playing here, ... I played in a dome in college. I played inside in Arena Football. I've played in the dome here. I just love playing inside. It's my element. It's what I'm comfortable with. ... It was great to get back in here. If we play this way at home, we're going to be a very, very tough team to beat.

I didn't realize that, the little things you learn.

Everybody expects me to be that quarterback, too,
areas ball change create gears guys might past plays reach separation strong though throws traffic
The guys I've had in the past have been able to create separation and make plays because of the quickness. Now you have to kind of change gears a little bit. Even though you might not have as much separation with these guys, you can still make throws in areas that only they can go get it. And they can really go get it. They can reach up and make plays in the air. They're so long and strong to the ball that you can put it in traffic and they're going to come up with it.

I want to win some Super Bowls, and so that's really my focus, to do whatever I have to do to lead this team to a championship,
sitting stew winning
You don't want to be sitting out the game. You want to be out there battling, no question. But at the same time, when those things happen, what do you do? Do you stew on it and pout about it, or do you do everything you can to get back on the winning track?
