He seems like a solid, well put-together kid. He kept his nose right in there and wasn't shying away. If he keeps getting better every practice, he's going to be a pretty good player.

But he just seems to have an engine . . . that allows him to run marathons pretty well. He's also very solid. He had very few injuries in college, a little bit of a calf problem freshman year, that was it.

(Getting back together) would take the lid off that and could possibly change what up to now, to me, seems like the perfect lifespan of the band. I can't think of any reason to mess with that.

If we throw up our hands, it almost seems we are incapable of coming together,

It is great to be together again and fight together. It is a very solid team.

It was like another finger, just this finger he always kept lit, ... It was always there, it seems; they said they never saw him without it.
