And (running back) Jon Lane is continuing to impress me.

He played 23 plays and touched the ball four times, which means he wasn't touching the ball 19 times that he was in there. Blocking isn't his forte. So we've got to figure out a way to work that out.

He's not a fumbler. I suspect we won't see that again. I think one was a freak thing, and the other he got careless driving for more yards.

If his knee is OK, we'll probably go with Luis. But we'll see. Both of them will play.

If he has a good week, he could go in the first round, maybe. And that would be awesome. I do think he'll go in the first three rounds.

Howard had 47 plays, five tackles, five assisted tackles, two tackles for losses, a sack, two passes broken up, a recovered fumble, a quarterback hurry, an interception, and one big hit,

If you're struggling or young, you couldn't have a better guy. Because he has unbelievable patience and perseverance.

I really, truly believe the University of Alabama is bigger and better than this,

If there's a game for him to come back, this is the game to come back. We're lucky to have him.

I'm one happy man right now. I can't tell you how much I appreciated my wife, Joyce, and my family's loyalty and love. Without their strength, encouragement and support I don't know if I would have made it.
