I'll see what kind of feedback I get, but after the first two plays of contact, I forgot about it. It isn't 100 percent completely healed, but it's not bad enough to slow me down. I should be a lot further along in a couple of weeks, come playoff time.

That was spontaneous. I thought I'd take one last go-round, get a good look at everything. It was my last game.

I think Vince helped us out a lot. The defense has to be very leery of his attacking ability. When he was in the game, it seemed like the defense played a little loose.

It's another hurdle, another adventure life has presented me, and I'm going to take it in stride.

As a competitor, you want to be out there, making something happen, especially when the team is losing. But my time will come.

Maybe I'm motivating him. My motivation is entirely coming from being a rookie and being hungry to be out there and be the guy and stuff. I think my game and my presence are motivating him quite a bit, and he's stepped his game up a lot because he looked good today.
