I'm the wrong guy to ask. I'm only doing seven-step drops out there.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
He's doing great. It was a good conversation, ... I think there will be a lot of conversation before the game. We're still close. We all still love each other. It's going to be weird being on the other side of the football, but it's going to be fun and exciting as well.
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.
