At the end of the day, when the ball is snapped, Jason Taylor is, in my opinion, the premier pass rusher in the league.

I wrote to the local news guy when I was 12 years old. I said, 'What do I need to do to be you one day?'

Usually the odds are against it. Just on normal wear and tear. A great deal of what happens is luck on one hand. On the other hand, their youth and preparation (were factors). They were tested in training camp, met the test and it's been kind of a upward march since then.

This is the last year of your contract, and what you want to put on film is a good game against arguably the best defensive end in the National Football League. OK, you play well against him. What are you? Chopped liver? Now all of a sudden, that's your resume. Let your agent take that around the league.

I'm very impressed. He came back here with a sense of redemption. He wanted to prove to people he was a better football player ... he's back at left tackle and he's playing very well.

Obviously, Kenyatta has had and will continue to have some irritation in that knee. We'll have to be judicious in terms of how we divide the practice time, but he'll be all right. He's had a good camp when he's practiced. He's been more competitive. He's tried to kick up his run blocking and has done so, not just tried. I think he's always been an exceptional pass protector. I'm really encouraged by him.
