afraid anxious ball confidence definitely stick throw work
He's definitely not afraid to stick it in there. He's going to throw the ball in traffic. He has a lot of confidence in his arm. But if I was that big, I'd have that much confidence too. We're all anxious to see how it's going to work out. The world's definitely going to get to see what he's got.
conversation couple front guy initiate last quiet starts stuff sudden talking
He's been talking a little for the last couple of days. We've been laughing, having some fun. He even got on me the other day for having my stuff in front of his locker. But he's a quiet guy. He really doesn't say much. I pretty much had to initiate the conversation and then all a sudden the guy just starts blabbing. Hey, you'd never know that guy could talk so much.

known matter special
I can't even get a read on him or how he's feeling. As long as I've known him this year, he's been the same, no matter what. What's so special about this game?
bites football lull plays winning
We all know that we've been one play away from winning the football game. I think we know that there's one or two plays that kind of comes back and bites us a little bit. If we don't have a lull on those one or two plays, then we win the football game.
none regular season sit time worry
The regular season is here now so you don't have time to worry about none of that anyway, ... You've just got to go out and you've got to make it right. You can't sit back and say 'Oh, we've got time.'
ball basically thrown worried
When I was in Pittsbugh, I was basically worried about how many times the ball would be thrown my way,

We've got kind of one of those offenses where we respond when we need to. I just wish we could've responded a little earlier.
