We're going to go out and pound the ball. Whatever coach has in store.

Coach said if you go out there too early and get hurt, it negates the whole purpose of having the surgery. We're going to be smart about it. I'm not going to go out there if I can't protect myself, and put the team in jeopardy.

I'd like to go out and play. You don't want to sit there and be rusty for the next week. I'd like to get out there and get some snaps for however long that coach thinks is necessary.

I told Tom that if I was a coach, that?s who I?d want on the field, ... I had all the confidence in the world in our defense and I?d still take our defense next time.
