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.
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 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?
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.
allowed biggest continue couple games grow looked played pressure runs screens took
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.

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.
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.
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.
attitude early mentality plays rhythm start
That was huge, to get back in that rhythm early, ... That's what really set us apart. We had to get back to that attitude and that mentality and start making those plays early in the game.
challenge fun standpoint team
To me, that's fun. It's a challenge every week, but fun from the standpoint that everything is predicated on what another team is doing.
football needed
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.
arizona sure
You know, ... I'm pretty sure I'm going to be an Arizona Cardinal.

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.

We have to get the ball in the end zone. It's tough to win kicking field goals.
