Ladell is capable of big runs and knowing that he's behind me, I can go out on every play and give my all. I don't have to save anything for once you get down in the red zone if I don't have anything in my tank. I think Ladell is going to help us out.

I think we need that guy on the field.

I think we are changing a lot of things up. We are going to get this right.

Out there I'm spending money, and here I'm making money, ... So it wasn't that hard of a decision.

I was trying to find a way to get into the end zone. So I came out in disguise trying to dissect a game plan to get me to the end zone. It had been so long since I had gotten in there before I finally got in, and I actually did it playing around (with costumes). And then the fans and people started looking forward to it.

I think having this change come upon me probably made me grow up and appreciate things more, ... It made me become a better man, become a leader, it sped up the process.

Being here, not having the (players like) Shannon Sharpe, Eddie McCaffrey or Rod Smith, it thrust me into that role and I'm enjoying it.

Well, ... I might as well keep a sense of humor because if I leave it up to you all, you're going to run me into the ground, drive me crazy. The last two weeks we haven't won, so now it's becoming a problem. When you're winning, it really don't matter, but when you're not winning, it becomes a problem. We've lost our last two games, and I've got to find a way to get in the end zone.
