Now it's my show, my opportunity to get in the meeting room and express myself.

Before, if we were doing 'punt,' there were some guys on the sidelines not doing anything. Now, everybody is doing something. . . . There might be quarterbacks out there rushing the punter rather than sitting by themselves not doing anything.

He said he's on a mission, and he's got a chance . . . he's coming on. He's like me - not a practice player. He's waiting for a game, but if he's not going to get in a game, you don't know what you have. He's got to understand that.

You know we're going to throw the ball, but coach 'Hawk' wants to get a guy ready who can run it 20-25 times (a game). It's my responsibility to get Charles and Ellis ready and find a No. 3. Hugh wore down at the end of last season, Byron had shoulder problems and we didn't have a No. 3.
