Elvis looked fired up to me. That's one thing people have been ripping him in the past for lacking. On his INT:
"That's one of the plays I wish I could take back. Obviously, being in position on the field, we couldn't turn the ball over. They came with what we call a dime blitz and they dropped the end off the backside. It was really, probably, the first time they did that in the game. I was trying to buy some time for Derrick (Alexander) to come across and Tony (Gonzalez) to develop on the play and I knew I had a blitz coming from the front side and I tried to move away from it a little bit. Cornelius (Bennett) got my arm and I was just one of those plays I wish I could have gotten the ball off a little quicker and it was just unfortunate that we got took all the way back."
Tony G on the drops:
Q: Why so many dropped balls today?
A: "I couldn't tell you that. Nobody means to drop the ball. It happens. We're all human, but we got to make those catches. I think this team has enough pride and the receivers on this team have enough pride. I know I do. There was a couple of balls that I should have caught. We just got to work on it in practice this week and come out and get it back next week."
Gun on the drops:
I was disappointed that we had some drops on the offensive side. I lost count at about five of them. One of them was dropped for a touchdown, which could have put us right back into it and that makes it difficult.
