That stretch of time has gone by fast. You get back in the room and it feels like you haven't missed a beat. To be back among the guys is a lot of fun.
bit change contact huge hurdle means stated time trying wear worse
This is part of my rehab. It's another hurdle and it's a huge hurdle for me. But by no means does it change anything I've stated earlier. I just keep trying to take it one day at a time and progress. I wasn't any the worse for wear from the little bit of contact I had, which is good.

(Roenick) was always colorful and was always quotable and he'll be missed. But at the same time we all know Peter's track record and what he brings to the table. As much as J.R. will be missed, Peter will replace that and bring a lot to the locker room.

I hope this has a positive effect (on my teammates). I was talking to the guys, giving them a hard time if they missed a pass. I wanted to wade myself back in but old habits are hard to die.

As a player, there's no better feeling than being a part of an organization or franchise that is willing to go that distance and give you a chance to win. He's done it again.
biggest bit contact level physical problem skill wear worse
My biggest problem is I can only play one way. I really can't try to play the perimeter and use some level of skill because it's not part of my repertoire. If I can't be physical then I'll never be able to play again. I wasn't any worse for wear after the little bit of contact I had, which is good.

Not only is it four years (since he played here) but it's another new team for him, ... He's just a member of the opposition and we have to play him accordingly.
