When we drafted Hines we didn't envision this. He has turned out to be a special, special player.

I think the pass to Hines was just a great call by Whiz.

I was only 25 when I drafted him, ... It's hard to believe.

This is a special group. This is not about me. It's about this team; it's about this ownership; it's about the players and coaches. I'm one small part of this, believe me.

There's a lot of unknowns going in, but I think every player, until he plays, has a degree of unknown about him. I think he's earned this opportunity. If indeed Jerome can't go, I'm not concerned. I'm rather excited.

He is a very valuable member of our team. Given the scenario, it's nice to have a player like that with the experience he has who can play at the level he can.
