He looked really excited kind of giddy after the game that he finally got back on the field after a year of rehab. Now, as for that hip, yes, it looks pretty dirty it all of us. In fact jason peters called it a cheap shot after the game. The question for bradford was, did he think as it looks to all of us, that tyrell suggests wentz after his knees. I was a little upset. Not sure i could repeat what i said to him. Like i said its part of the game. I thought he was limping a little. I dont know what hip it came on. No worse for the wear. Good step for him. I took a few hits got back up and feel good. I think its part of the game and kind of one of those last hurdles and boxes that needed to be checked and i think it was tonight. Since ive been here the fans are been phenomenal and a lot of passion and emotion and enthusiasm that comes in for those guys as players we feed off that and energy was awesome tonight it was greet play in front of fans.
