Transcript

00:00Man, Justin is, you know, as I've gotten to know him, man,

00:03he is a real steady Eddie, man.

00:06He's not overly talkative, man,

00:07but he's got a steady, strong demeanor.

00:10And just being in stadium with the man,

00:12some of the things that I've seen through team development

00:14were confirmed.

00:15It's just good to be able to communicate with a guy

00:18when things get thick and you see the clear eyes,

00:21he's there, he's solid as a rock.

00:23And I think his play and thus our play

00:27is kind of reflective of that.

00:28If Justin's performance today affect Russell's status

00:31as QB1 as a starter?

00:32And you can come ask me that question on Tuesday.

00:35I mean, to be honest, I'm not even worried about that.

00:37You know, I just came in wanting a win

00:39and I'm glad that we're leaving here with a win.

00:41So in terms of who's starting, who's not,

00:43all I want to do is win at the end of the day.

00:44So, yeah, I'm really not even going to get into all of that.

00:49You know, who I want to start at the end of the day.

00:52I came here to win no matter if I was going to throw

00:55for 300 yards, 100 yards, no yards,

00:58I came in to win.

00:59So that's the only focus I have.
