\nI feel pretty good. Definitely ups and downs, but I feel like we\u2019re getting better as an offense. Individually, (we\u2019re) doing some things well. (We\u2019ve) got to continue to understand the offense and keep learning, but I felt like it was pretty good. I felt like today went pretty well.<\/p>\n
\n(I am) getting more comfortable by the day. I think just the plays and everything, that\u2019s the easy part. I think it\u2019s the adjustments vs. our defense, the checks, the audibles, and different things like that, especially when you\u2019re going with some of the younger guys (are what\u2019s hard). So you might be trying to get to the line of scrimmage and tell someone to do and be able to get it up and get the play off and so you just really have to know and know fast. Especially when you\u2019re going against a defense that\u2019s stimming and stuff like that, how our defense does. So I think it\u2019s a great test because you\u2019re going up vs. a defense that does a lot more, even on day four of training camp, than a lot of defenses would during a game.<\/p>\n
\nI guess running comes pretty naturally. I\u2019ve been doing it for a long time. But on a play like that, one of the guys got in quick so I had to step up and didn\u2019t really have an option and then just tried to give a little head fake and then I had open room, so based on the coverage it was pretty easy and sometimes that happens.<\/p>\n
\nI think you\u2019d have to go and look back at the film. But from feeling it, I didn\u2019t have a super lot of passes. Probably more runs in there, but I felt good. I felt pretty good about my checks and some passes. I would have liked to have one or two of the passes from skelly (pass skeleton drill) back. But for the most part I felt like I did pretty good in team and threw it pretty accurately. So I\u2019ve got some things to improve on but I thought I did okay.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m not sure. I just think we\u2019re still putting in the offense and trying to understand that first.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019d say the thing I\u2019m working on most is just the offense. In that I mean, your progressions, vs. coverages, your checks, all of those things. How it all changes based on the defense. Just making good decisions and checking the ball down and certain things like that.<\/p>\n
\nI just look forward to whatever opportunities I get and whatever my role is I have fun doing anything out there. That\u2019s just my attitude, it\u2019s how I\u2019ve always been. So, I look forward to whatever role I have.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019m getting more comfortable. It\u2019s still pretty new to me. What I\u2019m doing is kind of like being a quarterback out there with all of our calls, checks, audibles, fakes and it\u2019s pretty fun. I\u2019m getting more used to it every day.<\/p>\n
\nI feel like they\u2019ve been doing a really good job. (The) coaches are throwing a lot on their plate early. Especially with how many fronts were going against. We\u2019re going against pretty much every front that a line is going to block in a season already and they\u2019re doing a good job picking it up and battling and fighting. Yesterday, especially, we had quite a few long runs that running backs were busting out and so I think that they\u2019re doing a really good job.<\/p>\n
\nYes. I don\u2019t mean that one is better than the other. I just mean differences in our defense, (they) give you a lot of different looks, a lot of different stems, fronts, coverages, a lot of different things like that, which is awesome because as a quarterback, as an offense, very few teams you go against give you that many looks.\u00a0 I think it\u2019s great for an offense. Especially on day four. That\u2019s what you\u2019re going against, that\u2019s what you\u2019re checking off of. I think it prepares you for the preseason and then for the regular season.<\/p>\n
\nI feel like there was really good chemistry in Denver. I feel like there\u2019s a really good chemistry here. Obviously this is day four so it\u2019s early. I think one of the things about a season and a team and how good you can be is how much you come together during a season. Through the ups, how you handle it, and through the lows, how you handle it. Does it bring you together? Does it pull you apart? I think that\u2019ll be key for us. Right now, I think it\u2019s been great. I think guys are really encouraging one another, they\u2019re pushing one another, there\u2019s great attitude, there\u2019s great enthusiasm. I think that starts with the coaches and it trickles down to the players and everyone in the organization.<\/p>\n
\n(Laughter) It was funny. A few guys gave me a hard time, but honestly I don\u2019t think anybody knew until they saw it that night on ESPN. It was funny. More than anything it was probably just Mark (Sanchez) and Greg (McElroy) giving me a hard time and then everybody else catches on after that.<\/p>\n
\nThat I was running and my shirt felt like 20 pounds because we had been in the rain and then I was signing autographs for like 20 or 30 minutes. I didn\u2019t really think you all would be filming it and taking pictures.<\/p>\n
\nI feel like I\u2019m improving every day. I feel like this offseason I made a lot of strides. I feel like there\u2019s some stuff that I\u2019m still working on. Especially with the way that we do drops and your progressions through your footwork and the timing because so much of it is the timing for our plays and our drops. So that\u2019s something that I continue to work on, especially after practice when I get a chance to work on that as well.<\/p>\n
\nI\u2019ve definitely been working on it. I hope there\u2019s improvement. I feel like I have improved with it. I\u2019m trying to get it quicker, more compact. Ultimately, you just want more accuracy and to get it out faster. Hopefully that\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n
\nIt\u2019s good. Coach Westhoff\u2019s great. I mean, you talk about someone with passion. He loves what he does, and it\u2019s funny being around someone like that. You get so excited, talking to him about special teams or just ball in general and he just gets fired up. Even walkthroughs at night or whatever it is, he just loves what he does and it\u2019s just fun to be around someone like that, it really is.<\/p>\n
\nNot really, he and Coach Ryan came to me with their ideas with some of the stuff and so I said I\u2019m here to help the team-whatever I can do. So you know, I\u2019m pretty excited about that.<\/p>\n
\nI don\u2019t really pay attention to that. I didn\u2019t really know until someone reported it so I (heard it) but if anything I just find it funny. There will always be fans giving you a hard time.<\/p>\n
\nYeah, I tried to throw the post and I was supposed to take the check down. Just trying to force the post. Had a cross that I probably should have taken that was underneath and I think making good decisions and not trying to force it deep, although I felt like we had a good shot for it. It\u2019s not that I was throwing into coverage or anything bad, it was just hey, know the situation, this is third-and-short, third-and-medium at the time, and take that check down. We probably have a better chance to convert so let\u2019s play the odds out there.<\/p>\n
\n(Laughing) Wow. Oh man, no I didn\u2019t hear that but thanks for telling me, that\u2019s pretty funny.<\/p>\n
\nJust probably get a light workout in. Probably get a run maybe, come out and try to toss it around a little bit. But for the most part just try to recover, take care of your body. I think that\u2019s a big thing. I\u2019ll probably watch a little film and I think there\u2019s a lot of things that me and Mark (Sanchez) and Greg (McElroy) can learn from watching old games that Coach Sparano has been coaching different teams in Miami, with (Chad) Pennington and (Chad) Henne, and so kind of looking at game film so that might be a good opportunity to watch that kind of stuff as well.<\/p>\n
\n(Laughing) I probably won\u2019t, would probably order into the room, or go to the (cafeteria).<\/p>\n
\nSometimes it is. Just if you want to go watch a movie, the Dark Knight, or something. It\u2019s just something you just have to think about and plan for. It\u2019s not like I get frustrated doing it, it\u2019s just sometimes you just want to relax and be normal because that\u2019s how I view myself you know. So sometimes you\u2019d just like to be able to do more normal stuff that you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n
\nI mean, we were so busy from 6:00 am until 9:45 am so we didn\u2019t really have too much time for that.<\/p>\n
\nWell I know we\u2019re going to try and do a team bible study and they\u2019re going to try to bring our Chaplin in, but I don\u2019t think going outside has really been a plan.<\/p>\n
\nSometimes it does get a little comical and funny to me. But for the most part, it\u2019s really trying not to think about it or worry about it or pay attention to it. I really just try to be myself and live as much of a normal life as I can without having any of this change who I am or what I do or why I do it, and it\u2019s something I take pride in. It\u2019s just not changing, especially my values, my faith, anything like that, but also just what I do and how I do it and just try to be the same person all the time. Just being someone that\u2019s authentic and genuine and real and not someone that does one thing and in front of the cameras and does something different when I\u2019m around teammates or not doing what I like to do, just being myself. It\u2019s just something that I don\u2019t want to change no matter what anyone writes about me.<\/p>\n
\nI feel it\u2019s probably been tested out all through college and the NFL, because there was always scrutiny. People just want to find something about to write that\u2019s negative or find something about you that they can post. There\u2019s other things, but I just want to be who I am and not change regardless of whatever happens.<\/p>\n
\nHave I watched it? No. What would I think? I would be like that\u2019s me running in the rain. (laughing) I can\u2019t tell you how many times probably at Florida or at Denver after practice I would do sprints back and forth with that and jog off the field and never think about it again, it would never get reported, but now it does. But that\u2019s also what I mean about not changing, it\u2019s who I am so.<\/p>\n
\n(Laughing) I\u2019m not going to change that. I\u2019m taking my shirt off. (joking)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
