He's certainly got the build for it. He's a big body that can be very explosive and play that position. I think our defensive coaches are creative enough to pull that off.

Obviously, they got a heck of a player. He did a real nice job improving every year that he played for the Rams.

He certainly hasn't lost anything in his arm strength and his ability. He had his career-best season as far as touchdown passes were concerned last year (in Miami). I've got a great working relationship with him, and he does a great job of working hand in hand with the starter. And that's what was important to me in this position.

Obviously, I'm pretty sold and convinced that the guy can do it. And I think he felt the same way about coming to play for us. Having a prior relationship with these players is important. It certainly doesn't hurt.

Hopefully, we're not looking to replace (so many) players every year. But I'm pretty happy with the way it's been going so far.

Having coached him for the past three years, he has great knowledge of our system.
