He's healthy and playing a lot faster and more aggressive than he was last year, ... He looks as if he's enjoying the scheme that they're running.
I can't answer that. There were times when to his credit he wanted to play and I wouldn't play him because of the injury. And then (it) finally got to the point where we ended up playing him. But we never put anybody on the field with the idea that they could hurt themselves in future games or years and that wasn't the case last year. But to his credit, he was chomping at the bit to play and we ended up playing him.
You know one thing, he's definitely had a lot of experience. Playing in a Super Bowl, playing in the league so many years, he knows how to deal with crowd noise and he knows the offense. He knows all the reads. I just hope he can go out there and lead us to a win.
(Roman) is healthy and playing a lot faster and more aggressive than he was last year, ... I've had a chance to see the other young kid, Collins, a little bit. He looks like he's going to be a good player for them. He wears the same number as LeRoy Butler (No. 36) and is kind of similar to LeRoy as far as build.
The good thing is you're playing in a bad division. The bad thing is you are in the worst division in the NFL and you're at the bottom of that division. But you still have 11 games to go. There's still a chance to do some good things.

It will be like playing ones vs. ones in training camp. The only thing is if I get to blitz I finally get to hit him. He won't be wearing that red jersey.
It should because they won in a tough place to play historically,
He has worked out. He has been taking care of his body and doing the things he needs to do to play at a high level, and I think that's going to pay off.
That team was very fluky. They had two games they won on Mike Brown interceptions for touchdowns. This team has won consistently. I think this team they have right here is better.
It should because they won in a tough place to play historically. That should give us the confidence that we can go in and win on any opposing team's field. It's just knowing that you can do it and believing in what you do.
That's something we have to improve on. We've got to tighten our coverage up. But we also have to improve at getting to the quarterback.
It will be a game-time decision, ... We'll probably go out and see how it's going to feel. Test it a little bit.
But saying that, I still have to be sound. I can't expect him to do the same things he did before. His ability to fool you might make you think one thing and do another thing.
