269 6138 I heard there was a fan protest going on Monday night but the stadium was packed, the atmosphere was live and it felt like a big-time game. It was only my second time on Monday Night Football so I really enjoyed it.    We came out fighting and had a great first half, held the Ravens to 0-0. Unfortunately they were able to make some plays and pull it out at the end. As a defense we gave up only one touchdown and we felt we shouldn’t have given that one up. We have to find ways to help the offense, either by getting a touchdown ourselves or forcing some turnovers to give the offense better field position. We haven’t been doing enough of that. At the end of the day we just have to continue to get better and eliminate mistakes if we want to win football games. I had a big hit on Todd Heap and a few good stops. It felt good to be on Monday Night Football with everyone watching. It gave my family a chance to see me in action. Next up we have Detroit. They have an explosive offense with a young quarterback with a very strong arm. They have Calvin Johnson, one of the premier up and coming wide receivers in the league and Bryant Johnson, a former 1st round pick who has found a home in Detroit. Plus Kevin Smith, a running back I work out with in the off-season who is hard to bring down. Stopping the Lions will be a good challenge for us. I’m also looking forward to seeing my good friend Anthony Henry, who plays for the Lions. Before the Baltimore game we had a little time off, and the bye week gave me a chance to go home, see my family and watch my little brother play. I’m looking forward to seeing a lot of my family on Thanksgiving, too. Is it hard to get up to play when you’re 1-8? No. Because to me I feel blessed to be able to play this game for a living. I feel blessed every time I run out onto that field. This is a chance to live out a dream that so many people have but so few can actually realize. I cherish each and every moment because I know it’s not going to last forever. Hey, stay tuned next week when I’m going to try to get my good friend Josh Cribbs in here to do a blog.
