Coming from him, it meant a lot.

I have a lot of faith in Will. I know he's doing to do the extra to prepare himself to play both positions. He does all the little things that are going to make him the best player he can be.

Nick has found out a couple of times in practice this week that the honeymoon is kind of over now. He's kind of looking at me like I've got two heads out there.

I wanted to look at Duane face to face and make sure there was a commitment there. He was going to have some bad days and it would have been easy to say, 'I can't do this.' The commitment level had to be there.

Duane has enhanced the position. That's why the move was made. He's found a home. What he does is what the next level looks for and I think he has a chance to have a great career.

What may have been OK four months ago, certainly isn't OK now. They understand now that the attention level is getting shifted more towards them in regards to this practice session.

I think you get a feel after a while when you watch guys as they're making blocks and can tell if they are just surviving in the game, or if they're looking to win the game.

I'd say he is the indispensable man for us right now.

Every time he gets in a position to compete for playing time, he gets a setback none of which he can control. We need to get him back healthy. There's plenty of time for him. We need to get him out there and see what he's capable of doing.
