But how about the defense. Jim schwartz wished he had solid starters at the cornerback position. He has them. Hes had a number of players stuff up at the cornerback position. Back to the opening game. Mills, going to make a play against the washington redskins. The pressure comes. He plays the position. Eyes on cousins in the back field. Gets a big interception.

And even chase utley, locked in and focused, even he admires the way he would approach his work. He tells stories about coming into spring training at 5 45 in the morning and roy halladay is eating breakfast, soaking wet. And he would joke with him, rain outside . No, just finished my workout.
