A.J. Feeley Quotations

Last year, things were a little different than they are now, ... I guess if you're going to look for reasons, look for excuses, I guess you could say those.

No, I haven't. Just doing my part. That's about it.

I don't feel squeezed. I just feel like I just have to take care of what I can take care of. There are limited opportunities out there with the first group. It's take care of your own. I can't worry about what the next guy is doing. Let the cards fall where they may and that's how you have to approach it.

I feel fine. I probably would have stayed in the game, but I couldn't get my shoe back on. I got hit pretty hard on the play and I didn't want to come out.

You'd like to put points on the board, but we got some completions and gave the guys a chance to catch some balls. You'd like to come away with a little more progress and run the football a little bit better than what we did.

It wasn't my night. I've got to take responsibility for that and try to cut down on the mistakes.

It was bittersweet. For me, it's tough to accept the fact that things didn't work out that well for me in Miami. On the other hand, it's a fresh start here, and it's an opportunity, and it's all you can ask for. It's a positive right now, but at the same time it's tough to swallow a defeat a little bit.

It's nice to get Coach Saban a win. There's always competition.

Everybody wants to start. That's my plan. You always expect to start, and that's my goal.

It's an exciting time. It's everything you ask for as a player -- an opportunity to play. Hopefully I'll take it and run with it.

It's bittersweet, ... It didn't work out here. It's something I've got to swallow. They had high expectations and I had high expectations for myself. For some reason... I've got to put it on myself. But it happened.

Anytime you get a chance to play, you have a chance to succeed, ... It's a matter of what you do with it once you have it. I'm not complaining. It's the nature of the business.

I'm not happy about it, but that's the way it's going right now. But it's not going stop my progress and how I'm approaching my game and the practice right now.

I'm excited, ... It's a fresh start. I need to make some good impressions and get back to where I once was. I'm not getting caught up in who's (in San Diego) and who's not there. I'm just getting a fresh start and a chance to rebuild.

I'm trying to make the most of my opportunities.

I'm never complacent no matter what you're doing. If I was the No. 1 guy, I wouldn't be complacent with being that. You're always trying to get better and move up the ladder.

I'll play on Sunday regardless of what's going on. If I have to get shot up five or six times, I'll do it.

I couldn't get things going, so it gets frustrating. As a quarterback you want to make plays and put them in the end zone, and it just wasn't happening.

I am not going to make excuses for the situation. Obviously it's an advantage, but that's the way it works. It's not over. We still have a lot of preseason and a lot of training camp left. You have to come out fighting. Believe me, I am not going to lay down here.

You could throw to both of them coming out of the backfield, because Ronnie is a great receiver, and so is Ricky. It gives us an advantage of giving the look that we can run the football, but we could also throw it. So you're going to see it a lot this season.

You've got to make the most out of every rep you get, as limited as they may be at times, in a game or at practice; you've got to make the most of them.
