We have to take care of business at home. These three games at home in a row are crucial for us to get the points and separate us in the table form the rest of the pack, so we need a win.

Honestly, just waking up every morning with headaches is tough, to know that I can't play tonight or I can't run tonight. Once the headaches started going away a little bit, I knew I had a chance.

Ten months of frustration was put behind that shot.

Before my latest concussion I was one of those guys who vowed not to wear one because it looks silly. Now I don't even realize I have it on. It gives me added security. It feels like a headband. If anything, I feel more comfortable to be physical on the field.

The headgear thing's great. It's like a headband, so it's not heavy or anything like that at all. I was able to do everything fine.

By no means was I trying to offend anyone in their organization. It was just something funny for the guys to laugh at in the locker room. They're our rivals, and I apologize if I offended anyone, but it was just a little joke.
Alecko Eskandarian -
I take pride in being one of the tougher guys helping the team pressure and there were so many times when I was watching the games that it just killed me inside. Sometimes I couldn't watch and would just walk around the top level of the stadium.
Alecko Eskandarian -
I think I put all my frustration in that goal.

I could go out there and throw my body about, but for now I'm just taking my time. There's always going to be talk and you are only as good as your last game. I have to prove myself all over again.
Alecko Eskandarian -
All that is talk, and no one has talked to me about it. People are always going to say things and assume things, but it is an injury like anything else. It was frustrating and tough to come back, but I feel great.
