There is nothing that has surprised me, because I think I know the player and he's practiced well and performed well in games. He's done a lot of good things and hopefully there are a lot more good things to come.

I think Luke will be ready. He has practiced every day this week. He took the majority of the snaps, too. He says he feels good.

That was disappointing, no doubt. We practice the ball on the minus-1 all the time. We had some confusion. But that's how you win and lose in this league.

First and foremost, he's an outstanding athlete. He has to be or else he wouldn't be in this position. He takes great care of himself. He's a competitor by nature. He has a great sense of humor, which I think keeps everything in perspective for him, good or bad. But, to play as long as he has played and to be on the verge of breaking these records is a tremendous accomplishment. For someone to be in a position that he's in and having done this for so many years and continue to be excited about coming to work every day and the opportunities he has is really a remarkable thing.
