The tide has changed. You have to be able to improvise in today's NFL.

I really find myself doing a lot better when I'm injured, so sometimes I look forward to it. This is the style that I play-being physical, running the football, making adjustments on the pass, avoiding the rush. Those sorts of things go with the total package of a quarterback.

I'm a country guy from Mississippi who keeps it simple.

I've learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over.

I'm not out trying to prove anything. All I'm trying to do is go out there and help my team any way I can to win. I don't get caught up in the individual stats or the awards.

Pressure is what you make of it. It makes me play harder.

With the physical mindset I play the game with, I expect to get hurt.
