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.
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.
certain deal dogged everybody extra guys last people system time together ways work worked year
Everybody worked together to make the receivers better. Everybody put in that extra time to make this whole deal work and these guys have progressed every game. Last year was our first year in the system and people dogged us in certain ways but sometimes you've got to give people a chance.
burdens expect people rush super takes throw time understand win work yards
They place burdens and expectations on me, ... What people don't understand is that it takes time in this game. They expect me to win a Super Bowl. They expect me to go out and throw for 4,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards every season. But it doesn't work like that.
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.
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.
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.
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.
