Anquan Boldin Quotations

We're looking to come in and play our hearts out.

I don't think it's a right or wrong time to catch a team. We just go out week in and week out no matter who's on the field. If their starting secondary is there or not, we just have to go out there and take care of our jobs. We can't worry about anybody else.

We're pretty good size in a one-on-one matchup if he can just put it up and give us a chance.

It is a little frustrating not to be out there, especially going through what I went through last year. I'm not going to be able to complete camp like I want to this year. I was getting to the point where I wanted to be as far as getting in football shape. You just have to roll with the punches.

I think as the week goes on, I start to progress from the second and third reads to my flat check. I mean, if I'm in doubt, I just hit the running back on an angle route or flat rout. It's not that hard. Playing quarterback is a lot easier than playing receiver.

I think it's real big. I think we had most of the pieces in place but adding a guy like that means a lot to this team.

I think we are just starting to get where we need to be.

I think we are a much better team than that. We just didn't put it in the end zone.

I think I'm OK. Hopefully, it's just a sprain. But it's bothering me to the point where I'm thinking about it when I play. For me, it's tough because I've been there before.

We haven't really talked about it right now. There were a couple of suggestions thrown out, but I guess we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.

We had guys hurt, so they just threw me in there, ... I was just trying to help the team win.

When I jumped, I lost my balance, ... I thought someone was behind me and I was securing the catch. I came down and twisted my ankle. It was just one of those plays.

I'm comfortable with that [a week's practice]. I've had numerous weeks of working on it, and a lot of it has been football specific. One week of practice actually, one week of official practice and I'll be more than comfortable.

I'm going to go out Monday through Friday and work hard and try to help this team win, because God knows we need a win.

A guy has to have the want-to. You don't just make plays by a mistake, by accident.

When you don't win, you don't get the notoriety and the publicity. This will make me work that much harder to make sure it doesn't happen again.

But no matter what people say about how we're going to be, ... we have to take care of our business out here.

The sky's the limit for this offense. We can be as good as we want to be.

Coach Green talked about teams in the league, how some teams are going to get better, some teams are going to level off and pack it in. We don't want to be one of those teams. We want to build on this going into next year.

As an athlete, you think you are OK and you go by how you feel. But sometimes it's not that simple,

You need a running game. I mean, that's a vital part of the offense. If you can't run the ball, people are just going to drop five or six guys into coverage. It's kind of difficult to complete passes in that type of situation. We need the running game to go.

Your body will tell you when you're ready to go, ... and I think I'm at that point right now.

It's not unfair, because that's what I'm expecting,

It's (the red zone) a situation we match up well against anybody. You got three guys who got pretty good size. Even if it's not wide open, you could just put the ball up and give us a chance to make a play on it.

It's more open. Last year, we were just bland. Wherever we lined up at, that's where we were going from.

That's one of the things we've set our eyes on, ending the year on a good note. We want to play our hearts out and get a win.

The ball got away from my body. He hit it as he was coming. It was just a bad play on my part.

I knew something was wrong when it happened. My nose was bleeding like crazy. But I didn't know the extent of it.

If you ask anybody in here, we want to get the running game going a lot better. We want to be a lot more balanced. It makes the game that much easier. Whenever you're on the two-yard line and it's first-goal and you're not able to run it in, that's definitely saying a lot and that's definitely something we've got to correct in the off-season.

I don't put too much into it. That's something I'm willing to sacrifice, the numbers. Shoot, you put me in the playoffs, I'll give away 30 catches.

Honestly, I watched film today and a lot of this stuff is just pathetic, just to say the least. There were times where they were right there. I could see if it was a situation where they were blocked or couldn't see. Man, you've got a plain view.

I can see through it, but you don't get no air. You have to get used to breathing in it, but it will be all right.

I don't listen to outside opinion. We know what we have inside. You don't panic. Just because you start off 0-2 doesn't mean your goals have changed.

The last two years he's been snubbed. He came out last week and made a statement. The guy has been all over the field all year. I feel bad for him.
