Things happened. There was a chance. I didn't want to go that far from home.
I apologize for letting my emotions get the best of me Saturday, ... What I did was wrong and I am sorry.
I embarrassed my family. My family didn't speak to me for weeks after that.
That kind of hurts me. Maurice and Lawrence were definitely guys who had a bad past. They're not even in the league anymore. But I'm a hard worker. I'm going to keep on fighting through my ups and downs. That's the difference between me and them.
I love my older brother. He paved my life for me. He put my whole family on his back in college. But there's ups and downs with that. When things are going good, he's a great person to have as your brother. When bad things happen, everybody knows about it.
Some kind of bad guy, like the villain.
I really can't tell yet how people feel about me. But why wouldn't people have an open mind about me? I'm not a bad guy and I plan to tell the truth.
This week I concentrated more on staying in the pocket and getting the ball out of my hands, ... I didn't want to take any unnecessary licks like I did last week.
We watched their defensive line, and we noticed that they weren't that athletic. I just wanted to pick up chunks of yardage. There were a couple of designed runs, but for the most part, I just tried to pull it down and get what I could get.
We drove down there a couple of times and just couldn't get in. I think we just started executing and went down the field with a lot of confidence. And that's what made it better.
We went into halftime and the coaches made a lot of great adjustments. They called the right plays and we just went out in the second half and tried to make it happen.
This time around, we just executed our plays a little more and (the comeback) happened.
We got the win, so it doesn't matter, ... But otherwise, the three interceptions made my night terrible. I don't like that at all.
The defense has been giving us great opportunities.
