J.P. Losman Quotations

Yes, of course, you are very upset, you're mad, you're trying to find all these negative things and turn them into positives. All these feelings that you're feeling, embarrassment in front of your friends and family is probably the biggest thing. And it's just something you have to grow from and get over.

Of course it's frustrating. (Tampa Bay) played Cover 2 most of the game and we tried to get the running game going and we couldn't. Even with all that, there were opportunities to make some plays. I missed a couple throws and that's unacceptable in the NFL.

To come out here on the first day and it worked, it was awesome

I was thinking about (being benched) and how tough it was, ... I was doing anything I could in practice to get back in there. Being the second guy again and all those feelings of anger that built up in me ... I used that as my focus.

It hasn't gotten to a frustrating point, but if it drags throughout the year, I'm sure it will get frustrating to everybody.

That was probably one of the worst passes I have ever thrown in my life. The guy was wide open, and I just didn't want to miss it. And in this league you can't do it because everyone has catch-up speed.

Without a doubt, he's the guy that I play the most alike. If you wanted to compare me to somebody, I play like him. ... I like the way he plays. He's such a competitor. I met him this summer and he's a big inspiration for me. We hung out a little bit, got to know him. He's a real nice guy, and everything was cool.

The plays were there. There were people open. Protections were there, and our running game was great. The running game definitely helped out with the passing game.

After he's hurt and he's upset, you can see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice, ... He just believes in this team so much.

This is game No. 3, ... and I haven't been happy.

This is not a straight road. It's up and down. And I have to somehow level it out and realize that I have a long career here, a lot of years left, a lot of games left.

They had a good scheme. They knew where we would be and they watched my eyes the whole game.

It's just something you have to grow from and get over.

It wasn't that bad. Everyone wants to talk about that, about how much I got beat up. I don't realize what other quarterbacks go through. All I know is what I go through, and I just assume that's pretty much what everyone goes through.

It was a team effort. You can't script it any easier for us.

It's a humbling experience. We came in high as a kite, and everyone was telling us how good we are. We met a team that matched us in intensity and physicalness.

Considering I've only faced really one defense so far for a full game, yeah it's going to be a step up.

It's not a gambling style, it's just an aggressive style. It's sometimes I've got to stick this throw in there. Most of the time it works, but sometimes it doesn't.

The biggest thing right now is to stay together. There's going to be a lot of people from outside these walls, trying to pull us apart. And the one thing we can't do is point the finger at each other or anybody else.

I walked up the tunnel at halftime and the fans were going crazy,

I'm not happy. You're never happy when you're pulled. I'm trying not to take it personally ... but it's tough.

I'm fine with it, ... That's his decision. Us as players, we're no medical examiners ourselves. So we don't know the technicality or the extent of our injuries more than they do. So we might as well have the doctors talk about it as opposed to a bunch of players who truly don't know what is wrong. That's just the way we're doing things around here and that's just the way it's going to be.

I hope they are happy with my performance, ... I think they have been feeling for a long time that they made the right choice.

I knew I wasn't going to get much sleep, so I took a sleeping pill. I had to force myself to swallow it. But I woke up early, anyway.

I haven't had a difficult time finding him. I see that he's open, and usually we're connecting. Last game, I was a little inaccurate on the times that he was open. It wasn't any kind of miscommunication. It was just a bad throw.

I have to be aware they are quick, they are fast, they are smart players, and they're going to come after us.

I really don't think there's too much difference that separates us. I think we're all bunched up there together. Some coaches are going to like some people, and other coaches are going to like other guys for other reasons. You just keep putting yourself up there, keep putting yourself in a good situation, and hopefully good things happen.
