It's a different type of mentality, and here I have a lot on my shoulders,
It's tough to get momentum going and you start going backwards. That's another one of those things we have to clean up.
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.
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.
It wasn't that strange at all. This is my team now.
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.
It's going (to depend) on his confidence to get up, snap and put it in the right spot time and time again, ... But it's more the confidence and the quickness to learning with your off hand. Try and brush your teeth with your left hand. It's not as easy as it sounds.
It's funny because I've played against so many guys that I've played with over the years the last two weeks, ... It's probably not going to be any different. There's going to be some hugs and smiles before the game, but then you're going to get out there and battle.
A perfect scenario, a perfect place to be in. But then a lot of times it's more disappointing when you don't get it done in a situation like that.
I want to win. That's the most important thing.
I think there was always that question mark of why am I not in St. Louis anymore? I think everybody had those questions and probably had those perceptions of me.
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.
I think Marshawn Lynch is the most important player in this football game.
I've done it for a long time and I didn't expect it to be any different here.
