I got hot late in the game and you have to give our guys credit for finding me at the right time. I called for it (the ball) and they got it to me.

It was just a matter of the first half of the practice wearing all the rust off but I think overall we got done what we wanted to. There was a lot of excitement and everybody was eager to get back. We weren't in full pads but everybody wanted to get out and hit the first day but we know we can't do that. It was a pretty energetic practice.

You don't think about that. You come to play no matter where you are on the depth chart. I got the call and made the most of it.

He's one of the most charismatic guys on the team. Off the field he is always dancing and singing to music, he's always bringing people up. He's an amazing athlete who really lifts up our defense.

Hearing people on a DVD or CD is a whole lot different than hearing them in person. I'm hoping he'll pull out some new stuff.

I have to be honest and say I think NASCAR was a lot more proactive in this situation than anybody has given them credit for. Did Dale's accident speed that up? Yes it did.
