Rafael and Tony are very similar. When you see little backs like them, you think that they can't run the ball inside. But both of these guys do a good job with that, and they can go outside and make plays as well with their speed.

I would like (Jones), but the defensive coaches need him. Maybe in the open week; you never know.

I think it's a sense of urgency. When we have our backs to the wall and we need to win a game, I think we really focus in. We've got to find a way to have that sense of urgency, whether it's a seven-game winning streak or a seven-game losing streak, every time we step on the floor if we want to make the playoffs this year.

They're really pushing us, too. They've put up billboards on the freeway. Ads on the backs of taxi cabs. TV and radio commercials. Newspaper and magazine ads all over the country. Things just blew up for us all of a sudden. They're actually trying to make us into real stars.

Working with Tony Jr.'s going to be a lot of run. We've already tested with each other, and we've got a good mentality ... This is a new start. We've always been close, but the working relationship is definitely improved.

I try to live every day as if it's my last. You can think, 'Run when you are 40.' Forty is not necessarily promised. My goal is to bring people into the fold. You've got to give people a reason to vote.
