You just have to be as good as the number one guy. If the quarterback goes down, like coach says, it's kind of like a NASCAR team and we're the driver. You can't really win a race without a driver; you need someone to drive the car.

So you're dealing with a coach, and you're dealing with a guy who's actually experienced NBA basketball from a player's perspective and actually goes about it that way.

It takes more that just a great coach or a great quarterback or a great anything. It takes the whole package. They still are a distance away from that.

He is a genuine, good guy, one of the best teammates that you can have. He lights up a clubhouse with a smile like Cliff Floyd has, and he has it every day. Some players are jerks, but it is fun to root for him. His homers kill the other team, and he does it with a smile on his face.

I just found that out, I didn't know he said that. But that's good when the coach says something like that. I've done everything I can. I really tried to step my game up to be the best that I can be for this team. I want them to know they can count on me when it's crunch time.

Vick is different than every other quarterback we've faced. Vick is one guy and of course, you've got to contain him, but they've got a lot of other good players on that team. We're not going to game-plan for one guy.
