It's not fun, but it's a part of the job. It's training camp and you are in Miami, Florida. You know what to expect when you are down here ... because it's going to be there no matter where you go.
It doesn't matter — one, two three, 10. I don't want to say I want 10 balls a game and then I don't get it, because I'd be very disappointed. I just want to catch everything that comes my way.
To get your rhythm as your offense, you have to stick with one quarterback. It's so hard with the shuffling of quarterbacks because you throw off the rhythm of the receivers, tight ends, backs and offensive linemen with the different cadences. With Gus pretty much being labeled as No. 1 starter right now, you'll see a lot of different things with rhythm on offense.
Our whole football team is behind him. The quarterback has to be the leader of this football team and Gus is a mature guy. He knows what he's doing. He's been in the league. He's been in tough games. He knows what it takes to get the job done.
He's the guy we have to rally behind. Right now, Gus is doing a good job.
It's a lot better because we didn't know who the starter was going to be until the Thursday before the first game. Right now, we know who's going to be the guy on September 11, which is Gus, unless something else happens.
Nobody is ever a lock. But pretty much everybody in Miami thought Ed Perry was a lock to be the long-snapper.
He came in and did things his way. And his way works.
Keep smiling and keep throwing.
