One of the best things I ever did was hire the guy. He's always thinking of new, creative ways to understand issues and express himself.

To take a shot in the knee from a guy who's got one of the best, hardest, heaviest one-timers in the league -- that's toughness. Maybe crazy, too.

He's one of the best. If it comes down to it, he'll make it.

He's a guy who really fosters creativity and creative product development, which is exactly what is needed right now, ... By streamlining they'll be able to respond to the marketplace as it evolves.

At times he's the fastest guy on the field and one of the best tacklers. AZ is a real cornerback. He can run with anybody they put against him.

You could look at it two different ways. You could look at it as being relieved, we're moving on. But for guys like me, the way I look at it, it's frustrating because you'd rather find a way to get back on the ice and figure it out.
