cares game monday people
Once we get out there on game day, who cares what people said on Monday or Tuesday? It doesn't matter.
couple game low plan plays protection run saw speed support tape
That was our game plan going in. We saw on tape their safeties come down low for run support and we just used Bernard's speed with our (pass) protection to get a couple plays down the field.
chose fine game good help ok played practice prepared quarter rhythm sure though three week weeks win year
I'm OK with it, and I got all the reps in practice this week and had a good week of practice and prepared like I was starting. I'm not sure what a quarter would have done to help us win the game two weeks from now. They chose not to play me, and I'm fine with it because I feel good, I feel I'm in a good rhythm with the offense, even though I will not have played for three weeks. I didn't play for a year and a half.
experience game lack rookie somewhere third wish year
The lack of experience is not what I would wish (for) going into this game - especially in the third year of my career. I don't feel like a rookie going into it - somewhere in between there.
add against bit chances defense game good passing running team
Our team is really good with our defense and running game, so if I can add a little bit of the passing game to it, I like our chances against anyone.
ball bit catch game great pick talked worry
Like I said after the game, he's going to catch the ball 99 out of 100 times. He'll pick his game up. He talked to me a little bit after the game and apologized and I just said, 'Don't worry about it, you're a great receiver.' I know he's going to make the play.
calm definitely drive field game goal nervous penalty range rest start
I thought I was going to be a lot more nervous than I was, ... The first play of the game definitely helped. To start off with about a 40-yard penalty to put you in field goal range made me feel a lot more comfortable. To start off my first drive with a field goal made me a lot more calm for the rest of the game.
calls game half plays ron turner watch
It's how (offensive coordinator) Ron Turner calls different plays with me in there. They only have a game and a half to watch me in this offense.
shoes
I just re-thought my shoe. I have different shoes now.
shot
I'll get the first shot at starting. That's all I'll need.
denial heard knew start tried trying walk
I knew right away and I was kind of in denial to start with. But I knew. I heard a pop. I tried to make it work. I was trying to walk it off. I knew right away.
anytime coaches exposure reward rhythm risk stay weigh
I just want to play well, stay in rhythm and get some more exposure to actually playing. Anytime you get reps in anything, you're going to get better. I'm going to let the coaches weigh the risk and reward there.
again suit
Just to be able to suit up again will be a milestone for me.
harder human human-nature improve nature positive work
I think that's just human nature to make you want to work harder to improve yourself, and I think that'll be a positive for me.
