Just being around here, being in meetings and learning and getting coached, I feel a lot better than I did last year about this time.
I think (it will) help him if he can understand the plays and understand the technique. That will probably make him better in the second season.
That was the one game that kind of put us over the top in a sense that year, ... Just beating the 49ers, your arch rival, it made us feel like we were ready to go.
That's the thing about Grant, he's a high-energy guy, aÊhigh-motor guy, and I know that going in. I'm just going to have to stay on him the whole game. He's hard-nosed. He's going to go till the whistle. That's the key thing with Grant. He's a big effort guy, and you just have to stay on him. You can't let up on him at all.

I feel good, ... We'll see what happens. Once the soreness goes down, hopefully I'll be ready to go.
One thing I know about him, he's a great coach. He'll land on his feet and he'll land a job pretty quick.
We still have a tough road ahead of us.
probably one of the best games that I was a part of since I've been in the league. Up until then, everybody was talking about their streak and how they were winning. No one was really giving us a chance.
The talks are going pretty good with Houston. Nothing has been written down or anything like that, but the fact I'm here and made the trip speaks enough for itself and their willingness to get it done. I don't think it will be a problem on that end. Really, it's up to St. Louis at this point. If nothing more, this puts a little more pressure on those guys.
He's our leader, and we hope he has a speedy recovery. We expect him to be out there (Sunday). And if he isn't, we're going to be professional and go out and play and try to get a win.
It was one of those situations where David Carr and those guys rolled out the red carpet, ... I enjoyed myself and liked the city and all that. They were ready to get the deal done.
I kind of pulled back and I think I pulled something,
I know he used the term 'fast and furious' a lot, but that's really the way we approached the game on offense. He wanted to take advantage of every defense, and the style of offense we played was great.
