"It's definitely the way that it goes," he said Thursday. "As a quarterback and especially as a guy that really started at the bottom and has kind of worked my way in in every situation I've been in, I've faced and heard a lot of that."
The Texans struggled in previous weeks to start fast but changed that against Pittsburgh when they jumped out to a 13-0 lead,Cheap NFL Jerseys Wholesale. It was mostly downhill from there as Houston trailed 24-13 at the half and lost 30-23.
"When you don't win,Cheap Jerseys Wholesale, I think everybody needs to look at themselves and see what they can do better," Johnson said. "We all need to pick our play up as a team, fix the mistakes that we're making and do what we need to do to win. I think you just can't dwell on one person."
He insists that he never lets outside opinions alter his view of himself or affect his play.
Fitzpatrick's 1,530 yards passing rank 17th in the NFL and he's tied for third-most interceptions in the league with seven. When asked what he wants to see from Fitzpatrick this week,2018 Nike Air Max 98, quarterbacks coach George Godsey said he wants him to lead the team to touchdowns instead of field goals.
Johnson certainly wouldn't mind getting the ball more, but it irks him that most everyone outside of the team is blaming Fitzpatrick for the Houston's troubles.
"We had some plays out there that we missed on that we just need to execute better,Cheap NFL Jerseys From China," Fitzpatrick said. "We just have to continue work on being efficient and effective the whole game long."
Fitzpatrick went 3-4 as a starter once Locker's season was done and was focused on doing more after winning the starting job in Houston this offseason. Things started out well for Fitzpatrick and the Texans,Cheap Football Jerseys, but mistakes by the quarterback and most everyone on the team has Houston in desperate need of a win.
HOUSTON (AP) — Ryan Fitzpatrick isn't playing the way he wants to and knows he has to improve to help the Houston Texans get back on track after three straight losses.
"You've got to have confidence,Cheap NFL Jerseys China," he said. "You've got to believe and you've got to go out there and play."
"My job is to get the ball to our playmakers," Fitzpatrick said. "I didn't get it to Andre nearly enough early."
One thing Fitzpatrick believes will help make that happen is getting the ball more to star receiver Andre Johnson, who has had five catches in two of Houston's recent losses and had seven receptions in the other one.
"I know I can do better," he said. "Some of it mentally, some of it physically, but my thing is just continuing to get better every week, continuing to understand the offense better, continuing to run it at a faster pace and mentally speeding everything up."
"Be efficient on offense," Godsey said. "On normal downs, making the right decisions, going through his progressions in the passing game. On third down, finding a way to move the chains."
The quarterback is in his first season in Houston after spending last season with the Titans, who the Texans face on Sunday. He was penciled in to be the backup there, but was thrust into the starting role midway through the season after an injury to Jake Locker.
Though there have been plenty of problems for the Texans, Fitzpatrick has received the lion's share of the criticism for the team's recent struggles. It doesn't bother the 31-year-old journeyman. He's heard it all before. |
