I was surprised, but I knew he was having a bit of a tough adjustment here. But there are a lot of guys who decided to call it a career after the lockout. You can't blame a guy for trying to come back and being 100 percent sure.

I'm accustomed to playing a little bit more than I have, so it's been a bit of an adjustment for me. Just mentally, you have to cool off a little bit, not be looking so much at the schedule . . . and then be disappointed when you don't get the game. When you get the call, you get the call.

I'm accustomed to playing a little bit more than I have, so it's been a bit of an adjustment for me. You want to compete and you want to contribute in a team setting. That's what can be frustrating for anybody who wants to help out. But at the same time, you've got to stay patient.

Philadelphia is a great team, but I think we caught them a little tired.

You still have to win the games.

I think with the injuries he's had from his career, it's definitely frustrating for him. But he channels that frustration in a good way. He doesn't sulk about injuries. He just works harder.
