Back To Football And Our Stretch Run 

I enjoyed myself during our bye week. I went down to New Orleans, right around where the levees broke, and I was disappointed to see that, more than one year later, things still look the same in a lot of the areas. The tourist areas are beautiful, better than ever in some ways, so I want you all to go down and visit. You will love New Orleans again.

But away from all of that, it's pretty bad. It looks bad and the people are still in a bad way. I want to help in any way that I can, so that is something I am going to keep on top of.

Football is back for me. I'm excited to go out and play Buffalo this weekend. We're 4-1 and I think everybody understands that we have 11 games in front of us this season. We have the right kind of mentality. You take the break and relax mentally and physically. We've been going at it since training camp, so the break was welcomed.

I didn't do anything but relax during my four days off. I didn't go to the gym; that was the last thing I thought about. I went to see LSU play Kentucky and I enjoyed myself. I'm in great condition physically, so that comes right back to you. And once we got back on the practice field, you get focused on the game.

This is a day-by-day profession. That is the mentality you have to have in the NFL. Buffalo has a good team and they always play us tough. I know they're going to be gunning for us, so we have to be ready to play a great game.
