It was easier for Ben last year (as a rookie) because we had veterans, guys like myself, 'Plex' (Plaxico Burress) and Antwaan, ... This year, myself and Antwaan are really the only veteran guys. Cedrick is coming in from a new system, and Lee hasn't played much. But I'm not too concerned. It's just a matter of us getting on the same page.

It's great to be back - I missed it. It was just day three for me, and we're getting better. Ben is making good reads and we need to make some plays for him.

To convert on that and have Ben score a touchdown, we had momentum going into (halftime). We came out in the second half and Willie busted a wide open touchdown that put us up 14-3, so that was a huge play.

I'll take Ben over anybody. I like the way he handles the game.

Ben threw for 300-some yards. Any problems he might have had, I think, had to do with planting his foot.

Ben might not have the numbers of Peyton Manning, but it's time that he started being mentioned as one of the great quarterbacks in the game.

Ben is different with his confidence this year. He has trust in everyone around him and he makes the team work for him. He has been a phenomenal leader.

Ben has a desire to be the best. You can see that in him. He's going to be a great quarterback for a lot of years.

Ben doesn't put up numbers like Peyton Manning, he just wins.
