When I first faced him in '98, I knew he and (Roy) Halladay both had special stuff,

I knew he was special from the first day when he took over the huddle. The huddle, that?s the linebacker?s house.

I think everybody knew he was going to be special, but we didn't know when. Just like Joe had a presence, Steve had a presence. It was different, but it was there. We just knew we were lucky to have two guys like that.

It really is something special that you can always remember. We knew we had to be perfect in the first 20 minutes or they would run over us.

I knew this was a special team when everybody reported to training camp, ... I knew then that we had something special. This has been the best season of my career. My teammates made this special. This is just unbelievable.

the best stuff of anybody we've faced this year.
