account alert burden forces harder prepare puts style work
It forces you to adjust. You've got to prepare for T.J., and his style. Warrick and his style and the things I can account for. It just puts a burden on a defense. It makes them have to work that much harder to be alert for different things, and that's to our advantage.
ear execute game mental playing possible practice
As long as I'm getting mental reps, I think I'll be able to go out there and execute the game plan. It's possible I may not practice all week. Who knows? I'm just playing it by ear right now. I just have to be able to be me.
ability adrenaline understand words
I can't put it into words. It's an adrenaline rush. I think you have to be a quarterback with scrambling ability to understand it.
camp jobs mentioned reason training
There's no reason for me to go into a big dissertation about why I'm not getting the calls. The refs have to do their jobs as well. I even mentioned it in training camp to the refs when we had our little meeting.
goal guys last learned point resort running trust within
My goal is to play within the offense, like I did last week. I learned to trust the guys around me. If I have to resort to running at some point in time, then I'll do it.
goal great nfl
My goal is not to be a great NFL quarterback,
needed points
It's tough. We didn't go out and do what we needed to do. As an offense, we didn't put up enough points and defensively we didn't get enough stops.
age attending call camps couple dealing football good kids remember treat
They used to call me 'Lil' Quick,' ... I went to a couple of football camps when I was a kid, but nothing like this. The good part of dealing with kids is that I was their age once, and I remember what I would have thought if I was attending a camp with a high-profile player, how I'd have wanted him to treat me. So that's how I try to be.
abide anyone code players
I don't think anyone should tell you how to dress, but that is the code and that is what they want and that is what the players have to abide by,
feels good twisted
It feels fine. I just twisted it a little bit. We had a good cushion, so it made sense to keep me on the sideline.
means players
It means a lot to me, ... I was the same way when I was younger, emulating a lot of different players and idolizing guys. That's what it's about. That why you play the game.
chance cold game prepared win year
It was minus-10 degrees. That's tough. We weren't prepared for that. We didn't play a game all year in the cold weather. I'm not making any excuses. We still had a chance to win the game. But it was tough.
cheer fans
I wanted to give the fans something to cheer about. Just wanted to get the jitters out, and I didn't want to shortchange the fans or myself.
ball hand protect shook trying whether
That shook me up a little bit. Now, I'm trying to protect myself. I'll do anything possible, whether it's getting the ball out of my hand or going down if I have to. If I've got to take the sack, I'll take the sack.
