Colt McCoy

(On how he felt after the first two series)- “We were frustrated, obviously, the first play of the game. We turned the ball over and you never want that. That’s really unacceptable, but it’s just one of those things that happened. I was really proud of the group of guys that were out there to be able to respond to that type of adversity when they (Chicago) get a touchdown and then our defense gets us a turnover and we go score. We kind of flipped turnovers there, but got points out of it. I really felt like we got in a groove and really moved the ball pretty efficiently. I would have liked to score some more points, but just to be able to play in a game and get a rhythm going, get a feel for defenses and the guys I’m playing with, that part was really good.”

(On his first extended playing time)- “That’s all I’ve been hoping for, just to be able to get into a game. I’m blessed to be able to go out in the first half and start the game. That was really pretty special and for a couple of series there, we were going against some of their ‘ones’. To be able to drive against them and to score against them, I thought, give credit to all the offensive line and the backs. Montario (Hardesty) did a great job when he was in and the receivers caught the ball really well. I felt like offensively in the first half we did pretty well.”

(On his progress through training camp)- “I still have a long ways to go, I’ll tell you that. But I do feel like this capped it off pretty well. I think just being in the huddle, leading the guys, calling the plays, being in a drive and being in a rhythm in the first half, I thought that was really good. To be able to do what we did when you don’t get as many reps in practice, it sometimes gets tough. Be proud of the other guys. They never hung their heads. They’re in the same boat as I am. Sometimes we don’t practice as much. We really have to study, do walk-throughs, hold guys afterwards and throw routes. Just to be able to come out and execute the way we did, that’s a tribute to all my teammates. I feel pretty special to have been out there tonight, and that we played well is a bonus.”

(On making plays)- “I just went out and made the best of all my opportunities and it just came to me.”

(On upcoming roster cuts)- “Somewhere in the back of your head, you’re always thinking about it, but the only thing I can control is going out there today and playing the best I could.”

(On making defenders miss)- “Making defensers miss is pretty much my game. With some runs, I can make defenders miss.”
