"No, it’s not (quite the homecoming I imagined). They played extremely well in the fourth quarter and we didn’t. You have to finish in this league. To come back home, it was fun. It was fun to see some people who I played with and the organization and things. It was good."

"You come all the way out here (to Atlanta) and you have to get a win. They’re 4-1, we’re 3-2 and trying to get on a roll. You go up 17-7 and you feel like you’re going to keep rolling on offense, but Mike [Vick], the sleeping giant, awoke. We were doing a good job of shutting the running game down and getting in his face and giving them some looks and knocking down some balls. All it takes is one play to ignite your football team and that’s what [Vick] brings."
