Leaving the game on Monday, I had no idea (who would start this Sunday), but I knew there was an opportunity to play (against Jacksonville),

They needed a roster spot. If things work out, I'll be back Monday morning.

We talked a lot. We watched Monday Night Football together. We'd just talk about certain situations. It was one of those deals, what I may have seen early on. I was in that situation one point in time and I was trying to share some of my insights.

You try to manage the game and do exactly what you would do as if Ben was in there, ... The offense isn't going to change at all, we're going to do what we do and that's run the ball.

He basically led this team for the last 10 years when you think about it. We knew why he came back. It was no secret he wanted to finish his career with a championship.

I'm ready. I'm ready to start. I came in today preparing that way. I'm feeling comfortable, getting back into the groove of things ... and, unless that changes, I'm the guy preparing to play.
