It was nice to take a snap running with the first team. Not that I want them to get used to me. But every little bit helps ... not with confidence but getting the anxiety off, the pressure off.

A lot of pressure's on me.

I'm just glad to get it out of the way. Now I really know what I have to work on. . . . There's a lot of pent-up emotions. I was nervous.

I can't hide the fact I'm down; I'd be lying. But I know now what I need to get better at.

I don't view it that way. I've got to keep proving it to my coaches, my teammates and everyone around us that I deserve to be No. 2 and that if anything happens to Jake, that I can step in there and not miss a beat.

As a quarterback you're supposed to complete balls, not rush. It's not something I'm proud of, rushing for more yards than I threw for.
