It was a lot of fun. That's not every day. He looked good. I know he was taking it easy, and that was probably a good thing for us.

The guys definitely respect him for the way he's willing to do whatever it takes. He's willing to work from the bottom.

Ever since I met him last year in spring training, he's just been real easy to talk to. He's not a closed-off guy. He's real easy to approach. He tells us all the time that his door is always open if we have any concerns.

We were on the phone all day, every day. Talking and talking and talking.

We did so well. We did things that we've never done before. I had so much fun. To see the kids accomplish so much in such a little time, it's amazing. The kids get all excited. To see them make their first tackle and first touchdown, they break into full smiles. It was a blast.

It was fun to see old friends.
