I'm aware that if the ball is thrown in my direction, I'm expected to catch it because the media is going to be on my back.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I just like the ball in my hands whether I'm running it or catching it.
I think I'm very good at reading coverage and knowing where I want to go with the ball before the ball is snapped.
Keep your eye on the ball.
Keep your head on the ball. You've got to hit it first, then look where it goes. People get in trouble when they look for where the ball's going, and they haven't even hit it yet.
They throw the ball, I hit it. They hit the ball, I catch it.
I'm at my most comfortable out on the pitch when I'm in front of goal with the ball at my feet. It's about being used to certain situations, and with time, you will find, chances don't get snatched at.
I think at some point during the course of the game, I will have an impact - whether it's blocking or whether it's catching the football.
I know I can catch the football. That's the least of my worries.
Joe Torre would tell you to make sure you can hit the ball on the outside part of the plate.
See the ball; hit the ball.
