We finally got the gang back together. It was important for us to play together for a little bit leading into the regular season. We were practicing all week together as a unit, and I think that was good for us. We're looking to raise it up another level heading into next week.

The second half we played like us. The first half, it was a bunch of strangers [out there].

Coach (Jim) Mora told us he didn't know we are. He was right. It was not a representative effort of what we pride ourselves in as a team.

It ought to make camp a little easier, at least from a logistics standpoint. We just have to make sure we don't let our concentration stray and think about that pool too much.

His name was getting announced all the time over the loudspeaker. He was going sideline to sideline making plays, making vicious hits. Every time I watched the Ravens after that, I couldn't help but watch him.

Those guys, they work in a short space, so they're more quick-footed guys rather than having straight-out speed. But yeah, to be that big and still move and change direction the way they do, that's what makes them special. Otherwise, every 340-pound man in American would come out to play football.
