We take pride in what we do in the secondary. That's one of the things. This defense revolves around the secondary's play. And if we don't give up any big plays, we're going to be a tough defense. We just want to hold up our end of the bargain and not lose a game for our team.

It was definitely a coming-out party for me. He did catch a four-yard touchdown pass (late in the game) that the NFL Network keeps showing every week, but it was cool. I was excited.
