among bird feathers last name national ourselves pushed took
Our feathers are ruffled, ... We're making a name for ourselves in the NFC, as well as among the bird elite. With apologies to our nation's national bird, we really took it to the Eagles. They've pushed us around for the last time.
atlanta beat bit both critical focus games great looking obviously ourselves playing road sides situation step week win work worry york
We are very critical of ourselves and of how we play and what we do as Atlanta Falcons, ... We know that we have some work to do on both sides of the ball, and that's what we are looking for from our team: improvement. It would be a great situation to be in, 5-2 and 1-0 in the division. It's a great step for us, and obviously as we come back we have to win games and step our own game up a little bit as we get into playing more divisional opponents. We have to really focus in and beat New York this week and worry about what is down the road a little bit later.
ask chance game last ourselves position similar week win
I wouldn't say that the game last week was similar to the one in Carolina. That was pretty much a blowout, if you ask me. Last week, we had a better chance to win. We put ourselves in a position where we could win and we didn't come through in those situations.
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.
ball bit might player run team
I run the ball a little bit more than other quarterbacks so, that might take away from some of his catches. You have to be a team player when you come here.
bit drill mature offense order scheme start sure tempo type
Our hurry-up offense and our tempo are outstanding, ... We've just got to use it a little bit more. I'm pretty sure they'll come up with some type of scheme in order to get the two-minute drill or the hurry-up offense going. Once we start doing that and we mature as an offense, man, the sky's the limit.
fancy game run spy stop
We don't see too much of a spy look anymore, ... because of our run game and because of some of the things that we do. We see more straight-up coverage. ... They try to stop me that way and not be fancy with it.
division games might regardless tough whether
Regardless of whether or not it's a tough game, division games will be tough. We might as well get used to them.
style understand
I think I could play with anybody. It's all if they could play with me. He would have to understand my style of play and what I do. And if he can do that, he can be here. Other than that, this is my team.
attempts believe exactly game hope needs passing per reason talent type yards
I think Greg Knapp needs to know that. He needs to know exactly what type of talent he's working with. ... You've got to be creative. There's no reason I should be passing for only 2,300 yards for the season. My passing attempts per game (24.2) are not even that high. I hope it's not that they don't believe in me, because I believe in me.
gotten himself leg situations step
Just because he's my brother, that doesn't give him the right to step on another player's leg during a game. It doesn't give him the right to get into some of the other situations he's gotten himself into.
style wherever
Wherever I go, I'll have to make some changes, ... My style is going to change.
bay change changing coast far francisco green perception run san seattle starting system west
My perception of the West Coast thing is starting to change too. We're not doing what I see Seattle doing or San Francisco doing or Green Bay doing. We're not doing those things. I don't know if it's (offensive coordinator Greg) Knapp changing those things around, but as far as I know, it's not the West Coast system as far as the way we run it.
bunk cool exciting laying led prison supposed talk time
That wasn't the way that things was supposed to be. And all because the so-called culture that I thought was right, that I thought it was cool, and I thought it was fun, and it was exciting at the time. It all led to me laying in a prison bunk by myself with no one to talk to but myself.
