coaches exciting guy practice problem running took walking
To me it was more than a walk-through. I had to do a little more conditioning after practice to show the coaches I was in shape, which was no problem for me. I kind of took this as a mini-practice because everyone else was walking through (plays) and I'm the only guy running routes. It was fun. It was exciting to be back.
anxiety looking routes steps sure swing worried
I was more concentrating on making sure that I got my steps down, that my routes were looking all right. I wasn't worried about getting a ball. I just wanted to get back in the swing of things and get all the anxiety out.
catch chance
I didn't really get a chance to catch a Brett Favre pass, ... I had to kind of get used to that.
bit doctors evaluation holding ready
I don't have any concerns. It's all on (the doctors). They have to do their evaluation a little bit more, and then we'll see what happens. I'm ready to play, but will they let me? That's the only thing that would be holding me back.
changing finish jersey players team win
I didn't want to be one of those players who bounced from team to team, changing jersey colors, jersey numbers. I started here and I wanted to finish here. Now, I want to win here.
build game point
One thing you can point out, even through all the losses, we were getting better every game. Now, we have something to build on.

There haven't been any talks really. And I don't know what's going to happen.

We know we're not that far out of it, but all we're concerned with is winning games. And that's going to happen one game at a time,
both bounce coming faster knee muscles strengthen stronger
He'll bounce back. It will make him stronger as a person. Mentally, he'll be focused. He'll come back a lot stronger than what he was. He's going to concentrate on that knee so much he'll have to strengthen those muscles in both legs. I see him coming back faster and stronger.
best direction hands history known matter tight
Before all is said and done, I want to be known as the best tight end in Packers' history, hands down. Actually, I want to be known as the best tight end in the NFL. It's just a matter of being put in the right situation. Hopefully, we can get things started in the right direction this year.
certain change guys
Hopefully, with this new contract, that will change things. You can't have certain guys out there just out there to do nothing.
care focus snaps win worried
I didn't really care how many snaps they let me go in. I wasn't worried about that. My only focus was to get a win at any cost. ... But I'm not going to get used to that role.
game
I could actually go through a game right now, ... Would I want to? Probably not. But I have enough to go.
