I've been lucky enough to talk to Mr. Blount from time to time, ... I just try to get his feeling on the game and what I need to work on. He always tells me to stay aggressive and be consistent, because that's what's going to keep you here.

But he can back the talk up, ... He always backs it up. You can talk all you want, but at the same time, he lives up to it. He goes and gets the ball. He's always hungry for it. He comes out and plays hard. He wants to win.

Johnson's big time, we all know that, ... We better be ready for him.

I am still learning and still have a lot to learn. I still have a lot to prove. Playing this game you learn something new every day. At my position I can never be satisfied. You have to prove yourself every year and at the same time you have to prove yourself every week. I am never satisfied, ever.

You always want to step up to the plate and show what you can do. Chad has always been a premier receiver and a Pro-Bowl receiver.

I don't know and to be honest with you, I don't really care.

Our corners have to be able to come up in run support or we're not going to get on the field, ... I feel like I did all right. There's a whole lot of room for improvement. I'm just taking it game by game. But I think I did all right.

We expected a playoff atmosphere in here, we got one, and we responded. It was a challenge, but I was ready for this. I go against some good receivers every day in practice.

It's starting to click, ... I've just tried to run with it from there. As a corner, you have to play every down, every snap.
