He kept his composure. He got us practicing a day or two afterwards because he knew we needed it. He wanted us to be together.

Now that right there was tough on him, I know, because first year as a head coach and you have a death right there and everybody witnessing it. You just don't know how a team is going to react. I'm pretty sure he was wondering if he was going to lose us, you know guys heading off to a different world. But he kept us together, man, he kept us on one focus and that's winning. And he didn't downgrade the fact Thomas' memory was there. He always pumped that up.

Just as a defense, overall, it wasn't just T.O..

It scared me to death. It scared everybody. To be honest with you, it scared me so bad I can't even remember what happened. I thought he had time to see me. It was like a freak accident.

I think it's going to be a perfect fit for me.

I think it will be fun. I would love to see how I test out against those guys.
