It's a muscle strain that we were concerned about, so we felt that for the betterment of the team, we should add some depth at that position.

He did a lot for this city, this team, and the NFL, period. We have a mural on the wall when our players come in the door, and there is Paul Brown kneeling on the sideline. We realize he's a major part of the history of this team, and we don't want to forget that.

I feel good for Dennis to make some plays. He's wanted to be a playmaker and he knew he could do it and we knew he could do it. The pass play for the touchdown was a big momentum play for us.

If I've got a proven vet, a guy who has been to a Pro Bowl and won a Super Bowl, I'm not going to pull him after the first interception,

Everyone sees his size. But I really like his technique. He knows how to use his hands and move his feet. He's played this system and proven himself in this season by playing at a high level.

I think basically he was inaccurate. If a guy's open and you don't hit him, that's not the defense.
