He seems like a very open person. He was open to me. A lot of people would think that it would be hard to trust me in a situation, and he's been very trusting of me. So that definitely had a lot to do with me coming back.
I have neighbors, I have friends, and now I have to pick up and go. It's the off-season. I don't have to be here right now but I choose to. It's going to be hard to have to transplant somewhere else.
I don't think we've had a long drive since I've been back, ... That makes it hard to get into any kind of rhythm.
Victories have been hard to come by this year. I think when we can, late in the game, stick together and pull one out it's going to help our confidence.
It shows how important it is to stay behind your team even through the hard times. Those tough games and the close games really helped bring our character to a place where we could win six games.
It's hard to judge your game without looking at the film. I thought I competed. That's what I wanted to do.
I talk to Ronnie two or three times a week,
We talk about life, we talk about our philosophies. He always sends me books. It's a different kind of relationship.
He's got size, quickness, great feet. He's smart. He's strong. I mean, looking at him, I definitely see why they used the No. 2 pick on him.
I did make my decision. But my concept of the truth expands on a daily basis. My loyalty is to the truth and not to consistency.
I found a reason to apologize. We are all different ... If someone sees things differently than I do, I still have to respect them, therefore, if I hurt someone or if they felt what I did upset them, then out of respect for them, I owe them an apology.
It gives the defense a problem covering both of us, ... I like it.
But that has nothing to do with... well, I guess it does. That is the reason that I did come back.
We talked before the game and I wished him good luck, ... It was good to see him out there.
