We all knew from the get-go Cadillac was going to be the star. But the thing about the young guys, they're all ears and no mouth. They listen, they take great advice from the veterans who have had experience over the years and they go out there and they have a lot of heart and play well.

Go back to '02. Everybody had a role. Everybody knew their roles and nobody ... complained, nobody said a word. And that's kind of how this team is. Overall, the chemistry inside the locker room is tight. We travel well. It's a good crowd to be with. We enjoy each other.

I don't know. First of all, I've had the best time this year. We'll discuss it between me and my family and figure out what is best.

He was here all the time, hanging out in the locker room and with the players on the field. If James wasn't here, it was like: 'Where's James?' He was part of this football team.

You have to put the trust in your team and the players and say: 'The heck with it.' You have to gamble once in a while.

He gets all panicky. A lot of players really needle him because he gets so fired up - hey Doc, just chill.
