Jason Ferguson Quotations

I definitely want to show everybody what I got, but I can't do nothing but wait until I'm ready.

I decided they better hope they never got to play against me. That's why this is like a dream come true to me. I haven't forgotten that day.

It was emotional. I'm not afraid of crying in front of my brothers. Men don't communicate like that, but I love those guys. Those guys will be my brothers the rest of my life.

I think (Jones' comments) opened Nate's eyes, ... I told him we needed him. He's probably the overall best football player on this team.

I thought of my knee, ... and I jumped. He missed me, but I landed directly on my (right) knee. When I first landed, I didn't feel anything. I was happy. I was relieved he didn't hit my leg. But when I got up, I instantly felt it. When I got in the huddle, I looked at Davone (Bess, the left slotback), and I told him my knee hurt.

The defense came out strong in the first half to make a statement that New York was in for a fight.

I was heartbroken at first. But as soon as they told me I was too small, I just crossed them off my list, quick. Anyone who tells me I'm too small, they don't know me.

I've been doing this since I was 10. ... You watch film, but a lot of it is natural. It's vision, and doing what your body tells you to do. I don't think. I just react. It's hard to explain. You follow your blocks, but at the same time, in the open field, you try to make people miss.

That's sweet. I'm hyped. I guess (coach Jones) felt it was my turn. He knows I want the opportunity. He knows I want to be on the field the whole game. It's his decision, so I didn't say anything, but he knows I really want to do it.

I think everybody knows we're trying to win. I don't think anyone thinks we're going 6-10 again. That's why this first game is so important for us.
