I bring a leader, and I bring a playmaker. When it comes time for a play to be made, I'm going to be one of the guys who steps up and tries my best to make the big play. I like to take the shine in the big game.

It has been really frustrating, ... Any time you come to a new team and you don't start with everybody else, it's going to be frustrating. Then a guy like me that loves to play. I love to get out there and interact with the guys. I haven't been able to do that so, yeah, it's been frustrating.

I'm real excited. It's real now. It's crunch time. I get excited for this. Just playing in front of my home crowd, getting everybody into it.

I'm real healthy. Don't worry about it. Once my adrenaline gets to rushing and it's game time I'll be fine.

This party's a hoot,

It was a breakdown. You can't start a game off like that. There's no excuse. We've got to stop sugarcoating things. Everybody's got to get better.
