I'm the rookie. I need all the game-time experience I could get.

I bet Miami would have been happy just to beat North Carolina any way they could have. We won -- that's all it comes down to.

Those penalties hurt us. But I'll get better and better. This was a good start.

Back at Oklahoma, that's what everybody knew me for. I'm going to drive them until they hit the ground.

A win is a win. We got tested, and that's good.

If you think about it, it's kind of a compliment. Usually the best guy protects the blind side of the quarterback, so I just take it as a challenge and a way to better help the team. It's going to be good for me. I'm just learning different techniques.

There are a lot more people less fortunate than me, but it's been tough. No one told me something like this could happen.

It's like a rookie season all over again - new coach, new house, new position. There are a lot of changes right now.

Something's wrong with New Orleans. Somebody wants that city gone.
