The last word
" I've done studies going into this year about how LaDainian [Tomlinson] where he didn't play and he kind of started off a little slower at the beginning of the year but when he caught on fire he caught on fire. I guess there are positives and negatives to not playing. For me, obviously coming off the injury I want to be able to go out there and get in a live situation and just see what I can do and see how I feel."
