Obviously, this game holds special meaning for me. I had five good years there and I'm very appreciative of everything that they did for me when I was there. At the same time, obviously, it was tough the way it ended and there's certainly a little bit more emotion involved in this game for me than any other game.

He just seems so much more comfortable; I was talking to him a little bit about that here in training camp. This being his second time around, he knows what to expect ... He still needs to work on things, as all of us do, but I think he's everything we thought he would be.

It's natural to have those kind of feelings. Certainly, I was disappointed when things went down the way they did, and so to exact a little bit of revenge this weekend would be nice.

He's got a little fight in him, got a little bit of an attitude. He talks a little trash. But that's part of what makes him great. All the great ones do that.
