affects understand
I understand his point, but it's really not fair. It affects the whole team.
arm blessing page step time watch
(The time off) was probably a blessing in disguise. He got his arm rested. He got to step back and watch like he did his first year. So it's not like he was out of it completely. He's on the same page with us.
definitely everybody good helping knows offense order stretch
Everybody knows in order to have a good offense you have to stretch the field. Now we have Plax, and he'll definitely be helping us in that aspect.
complacent games played
We played pretty well the first two games and got a little complacent and thought we were better than we were.
fun last year
We have a lot to prove. Last year was no fun for anybody.
coming confidence gives knowing leader team
Having the leader of the team in Eli, him being around, knowing everything, knowing everybody's assignments, it gives everyone a lot more confidence. We all have confidence coming in with Eli, Plax and Tiki, those guys. We can build, not necessarily on what we did in the past, but what we can do now.
breakout close confident game gets start time
Give him time and he'll do great. He gets more confident with every start and he'll get better every game he plays. He's really close to having a great, breakout game.
content good guard happened last next opponent punch strong year
If we get off to a strong start, we can be as good as anybody. Last year we started strong and it went downhill. When everything's going right, we can't be content and let our guard down. We can't let that next opponent punch us first, like what happened last year.
ball blocking drafted harder lead personnel staff tight works
I didn't get drafted to be a blocking tight end or a fullback to lead up in the linebackers, ... No one works harder than this staff to get their personnel the ball. I know they are going to try and get me the ball this year.
against bad caught feelings forgiveness hard
No hard feelings from our side. It's important not to get caught up in bad feelings. We don't have anything against those guys.
felt
No one felt like we were out of the game.
emotional fool looking national positive
I'm always going to be looking in a positive direction, ... If I look like a fool on national TV, so be it. I'm an emotional person, that's how I am.
chance cowboys emulate evaluate game knew stop teams tried
We knew we had a chance at the game, but offensively we couldn't get anything going. We tried everything. We have to go back and really evaluate this film and see, because a lot of teams are going to take this game and really try to emulate what the Cowboys did and try to stop us.
start time turning
It's time to start turning things around here.
