It's kind of gone back and forth a little bit. As the wear and strain of training camp goes on, there have been real good days for him, and there have been other days when he hasn't been quite as comfortable with circumstances.

I've given it less thought than anybody else because months ago I made plans to go on without him, ... When he comes back, it's going to be like picking up a free agent at midseason. We'll try to get him oriented to the system. Obviously, he'll help provide something we didn't have the day before. Other than that, we might be going until December without him. I don't think about it.

No. It will continue to be as things have been. It has always been a collaborative effort here and will continue to be a collaborative effort. Eventually all the calls go through me.

If we can do that eight more times by one more point than the other guy's got, I think we'll all be quite satisfied with that.
