It was tough because they were booing when we were in the huddle and guys had difficulty hearing. And, to add to that, John had to get the plays off without taking penalties. Like I said, I didn't prepare him because I had no idea it would be like that.

All the guys who were booing him when he came to the plate were cheering for him when the ball went over the fence. It was nice to see us pull together and get a win.

As I walked back to the huddle, a lot of guys walked up to me and said 'You're back. You're back,'

It feels good just to get back on the field with the guys and get back in the huddle.

I know fans have been really tough on Justin, but they have to remember that things were different when Van Pelt was the quarterback. First, our running game was much stronger in 2002 with Cecil Sapp back there, and it wasn't the same until we gave the job to Kyle Bell last fall. And our defenses were more dominant back then. Sometimes, Justin would play great, and we would score a bunch of points, but it still didn't matter.

It seems that when we get in the huddle and we look at each other in the eyes, Brady [Quinn] calls a play, we know that the play's going to work.
