Watching everybody play and me not being able to was the hardest part. Wondering if I had gone (to a doctor) when I first hurt it if I would have been there playing.

We're actually playing as a team more now than at the beginning of the season. I think we're starting to change it around.

I was scared they wouldn't let me do it. So I had to wear my jacket, and I was driving like that the whole time.

My dream is to play Wolf Trap someday. We're Northern Virginia guys, so we aspire to that.

The brutal honesty that he brings to the game and to the clubhouse is why we play so hard. He's going to tell you when you're doing great, and he's going to tell you when you screwed up and did something wrong. He's intense. He's passionate. I don't think anything changed from the days when he was a player. That's a huge bonus for us. He's as animated on the field as he is off. Guys feed off that energy that he has.

Who wouldn't want to play for the defending world champions?
