Just because I got injured doesn't mean that my confidence level is going to go down, ... The same thing happened to me against Seattle, and I came back and had one of my best games against Buffalo. Injury doesn't scare me.
ball last matter seeing time trying
Man, this time last year, I was just trying to make the right reads, ... Now I know 90% of the playbook. I'm seeing it. It's just a matter of getting the ball there.

Yeah I think we showed we can compete with this team. We beat them.
ball catch last throw time trying
We're all trying to get on the same page. I want to throw the ball right at them so they can catch it. I didn't do that all the time last year.
play levels stills
I know I can still play at a high level.
ball chances football learning liked nfl threw throw virginia
I think I have a lot of learning to do. Back at Virginia Tech, I threw the ball enough, but not as much as I would have liked to. I think in the NFL you have a lot more chances to throw the football downfield. It's going to be a challenge.
ball conscious effort hands knocked looking pocket protect run throwing time
If you think about the fumbles, one of them I was throwing the ball and the other time I wasn't looking and the ball got knocked out of my hands when I was in the pocket, ... I try to make an effort that every time I run the ball and every time I'm in the pocket I should protect it, but sometimes there is just nothing you can do about that. You see it all around the league, and it's just something that you have to be conscious of, but at the same time it's hard, to tell you the truth.
baby bounds few last protect run running sliding
No! ... If need be, I'll run just as much as I did last year. The thing now is I know how to protect myself. A few years ago, I was running reckless. Now, I'm sliding and getting out of bounds for the longevity, baby for my season, for my career.
ball business care great job last moved ourselves proved supposed took
I think we proved ourselves in the preseason. We took care of our business when we were supposed to. As an offense, we moved the ball efficiently. We were able to be consistent, and those were things we didn't do a great job of last year. We're ready.
brother came due game great hype played poise pressure starting
I told him that he played a great game. His first game starting there's a lot of hype and pressure on him. He came out and played with poise and made some plays. Like I told him, I think he's going to be just like his brother in due time.
coming everybody happen hard might pay season trying work
I'm coming out this season to show everybody that I'm the best, or trying to be the best, or one day, that I'll be the best, ... It might not happen this year. It might happen in '07 or '09. One day, you're just going to see all the hard work pay off.
believe game guys hammer job leading maybe run throw together victory
It's 11 guys doing their job. If we hammer them, hammer them, throw it, and then run it at them, then maybe victory will come. At the same time, I have to be doing my job and the receivers have to be blocking. There are a lot of things that come together to make the run game work. We believe in it, which is why we are leading the league.
bit head hit three
I hit my head two or three times. I bit my tongue. They put me on my back.
moving east west-coast
In any offense you put me in, when things break down, I'm going to get outside the pocket and move ... West Coast, East Coast. It doesn't matter. I'm taking off if I have to, to make things happen.
