To get a guy like Jamie back, he's our cornerstone, our leader.

We knew it was going to be hostile, ... I had some fun with the fans during pre-game, but mostly I ignored them, until the final 20 seconds, when I started celebrating with the guys.

It's disappointing, period, because we had a chance to win it.

The body's going to take some hits this week, so we have to be ready but I still have to go out there and play quarterback, execute the plays and make sound decisions.

The best thing we ask for is to give ourselves a chance to win. I like what we did in Montreal but we just didn't finish it off in Toronto.

I told him to get ready to be successful up here because we'll get him the ball, ... When you got a guy with that type of skill, you have to get him the ball because there's too much ability to not do it.

He's been in the league like 80 years. I think he played with Normie Kwong.

They have great players over there, so I expect a great pass rush every time you play those guys.

He knows all the calls and all the checks, ... Having him there keeps everyone relaxed.
