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.
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.
bottom build couple feeling good line matter plays rhythm time weeks
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
brush confidence easy learning left quickness snap spot teeth time
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.
cheer maybe
Hopefully, they still like me a little bit, ... And maybe they'll cheer for us a little, too.
guys help huge moves trying
Hopefully, we can make some moves and get some guys in who can really help us. He (James) would be huge for what we're trying to accomplish.
fling receiver
I don't know if he can read anything. The first receiver better be open, but he can fling it.
catching confident feels forward sure year
I'm sure he feels so much better and so much more confident this year than last, ... I just look forward to catching up with him.

In New York, it was really a chance to showcase what I could do and try to present myself with an opportunity like here in Arizona where I could play the game the way I wanted to and hopefully write my own story,

I've been here a lot of times when I had everybody in here cheering for me and I don't know if I fed off it, but I definitely know I was focused and feeling good.
