When it happened, he stayed in the next play. After that he went off to the side. But I'm still preparing the same way. You have to be ready for everything.

He basically led this team for the last 10 years when you think about it. We knew why he came back. It was no secret he wanted to finish his career with a championship.

Right now, I'm the guy preparing to play this week. I'll go out and prepare that way and get the timing down with the receivers and make sure I get the verbiage called with the plays. Once you get the game plan down, everything just becomes natural at that point.

We were always on the run and just ate whatever was there. We never sat down as a family because we were always on different schedules.

Are there ways to get better? Yes, absolutely. He's going to try to fine-tune those and obviously you want to win the Super Bowl, so his expectations in his second year are kind of like what Marino's were. It's kind of like, all of a sudden, 'OK, you're there. It's time to win the big one now.'

I'm ready. I'm ready to start. I came in today preparing that way. I'm feeling comfortable, getting back into the groove of things ... and, unless that changes, I'm the guy preparing to play.
