I know James and me are different players, but I know he is going to go in there and he will play fine. James is a talented guy. He is smart. He is one of those rookies that seems a lot wiser and has a lot more wisdom beyond his years. I think in terms of going out there and playing, I think we will be fine at the strong safety position. He is going to go out there and make plays. He is a tough guy.

We weren't up to par. Similar to (our opener) last year, we played rusty. We didn't play a complete game. We gave up some easy touchdowns, didn't really communicate well.
gauge guarantee happened judge past people realize totally understand wants
Everyone wants to judge us and gauge us on what happened in the past, but this is a totally different team. People have to realize that and we understand that. So there's no guarantee that we're going to go out there and do anything.
anyone felt game guy hard vulnerable
You go out there and you play the game hard, but you never want to see anyone down. And I just felt really bad. The guy is vulnerable being down like that. It was just hard on me.

Of course they have an image of being bad boys and being the dirty boys of the National Football League, ... but a reputation means nothing. What means something is going out there and executing on that particular day.
