I consider myself more of a loner now and I think when you get older, especially in this game, and just talking with other players who have come and gone, I see what they were saying when I was a young guy in the locker room.

He doesn't get a lot of recognition, but in the locker room he does. Teammates know how important a guy like he is. He's irreplaceable.

It's just good to be back in the locker room.

I think sometimes you rely too much on one guy, on one phase of the game,

It doesn't mean that we hit on 100 percent, that doesn't mean that every guy that enters the locker room is an angel. But that doesn't cause you to waver from the fact that you still deem it important, and you still look for it and you fight to get it.

Todd is known as a very good guy in the locker room and is well known for working with younger players. He has a chance to become one of the veteran leaders of this team and we're going to give him that opportunity.
