They do a lot of stuff, and I'm sure they're going to do more stuff since it's going to be my first start,
I don't know. I just know we're where we should be, and that's first place. That's where the Chicago Bears should be.
I haven't proven anything yet. This is preseason football and I think I'm playing pretty well, but we haven't even played Game 1. We'll see what we do in the regular season.
Obviously, we got off to a good start on the first play. It's kind of tough when you know you're only going to be playing a couple of series; you want to make so much happen in that little time. I got too aggressive and threw that pick, but all in all, I think it went pretty well.
I'm not going to put this on my being young or anything. I played like crap today, and that's basically what I'm going to put it on.
They're still blitzes that every team does. They just do it more than anybody probably. So it's not like I haven't seen the blitzes. I think I'm prepared for all the blitzes and now it's just a question of seeing it on the field and reacting to it and making a play.
It's a tough situation. Obviously, I regret that the pictures came out. It's (an off) week and I was trying to get away. I was back with some friends I haven't seen for quite a while back home. I'm a 22-year-old kid having some fun.
I saw the blitz coming. I saw the 1-on-1 over there. I wanted to give Justin a chance, but I just left the ball inside a little too much. It's tough when you know you're only playing a little bit; you try so hard to make something happen.
It's back to work. We've got a big game this week and it's too big of a game to be concentrating on off-the-field stuff that really has no bearing on it.
Whenever anybody blitzes, ... there are certainly chances to make plays, whether it be down the field or hitting the crease or whatever, and I think I can see it.
We're resilient. We don't let a lot of things bother us. There's a lot going on and people making too much of what it is. We have a lot of football to go. I think we're just hitting our stride and really can get on a roll here.
To get that play and come into the halftime at 7-3 instead of 3-0 was huge emotionally.
We came unglued a little bit, ... I tried to call some stuff out at the line and get the situation right.
Those drives are just demoralizing for a defense,
