Being 0-3 is a tough place to be. We keep doing a lot of good things and get close to the end zone, but we don't do enough good things once we get down there. I guess the beauty of it is there's not a whole bunch of teams out there that have set themselves apart, and as fast as it goes one way, you can get it going the other way.
She was happy that we got it done so she didn't have to move. Had this not worked out here, I don't know what I would have done.
I've been in a lot of places where I haven't had offensive lines that can just manhandle guys one-on-one, ... but if you get on the right guy, you pick up the right guy, you give your skill players a chance to make a play, and that's where you're successful.
They're at the point where they understand the game. They play the game fast, but timing doesn't become an issue because even though you don't get to throw to them that much in the game, you watch them on film and they're in the exact same spot they are in practice.
I'm fighting that battle not to have that go through my mind, ... Right now it's just working, rehabbing and getting ready, getting to 100 percent, doing what I do, and letting all the chips fall where they may.
It's tough to get momentum going and you start going backwards. That's another one of those things we have to clean up.
I expect huge things from this football team. I expect big things from this offence with the playmakers that we have now. I think it matches up very well with teams that I have been on in the past.
The fun thing is now you can really fine-tune on one team, ... Instead of throwing the whole playbook at people and saying, 'Here, learn all this,' you get specific now, you get to watch film, get to attack what you think the Giants are going to do.
You know, ... I'm pretty sure I'm going to be an Arizona Cardinal.
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.
When you lose this game you feel like you've lost an opportunity. So you put pressure on yourself to try to do more to get back the next season. I think we tried to do too much the next season.
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 gave up too many big, key plays, and it turned on us really quickly, and we weren't able to dig ourselves out of the hole.
