calms certain effect expect knew lack lost order plays urgency veteran
He never lost his cool. He knew he had to make certain plays in order for us to keep going. He was everything you'd expect out of a veteran quarterback. He just calms me. His effect on me is calming. He did that for me in 1998, and he's done that here as well. There's always that sense of, 'You know what? We're OK. We're going to be OK.' It's not a lack of urgency by any stretch. It's just a calmness.

We're very confident when Chester Taylor is in there and we have no hesitation with him. But Jamal Lewis is a force to be reckoned with, and when it's all said and done, he will have a huge impact on our ability to run the ball.
