"They feel more comfortable with me playing outside because I really don’t make a lot of mistakes when I play outside. All my mistakes came when I was plying nickel. I’ll go back in wherever they need me to play. If they need me to play nickel I’ve just got to be smarter. If I play outside, just let my instincts take over."

"One of the reasons he didn’t throw a lot of interceptions in college is because he had a great feel.

"Most people can’t do that in the NFL but he has been able to do that and hopefully he can continue it. A lot of times you have those bad days…I’ve been with some great quarterbacks who have a four or five interception day and you will have it a couple times early. It is a part of the growth pattern. But, he has been able to handle himself well and stay within the confines of the system and do a great job."
