I think there was the feeling that he was going back to the Patriots .

The difference between the Patriots and those Steelers teams is that there were other great teams in the AFC back then, like Miami and Oakland,

I have the highest regard for them,

We traded up to get him because Tony, because we all knew what he could be, ... We all understand the blueprint now. It's not hard. It's fun.

It was not easy, and it was somber, to say the least.

We re-signed Dominic knowing full well that he could contribute at a high level. Dominic Rhodes is our starting running back. Whoever we add is going to be a contributor. He's going to have to go through something to beat Dominic. If he beats out Dominic, we got a heck of a player.
