It was a lot of rehab that was experimental with that injury. There was not a lot of knowledge as far as rehabbing and strengthening the foot, so we had actually try a lot of things, but it worked and I'm definitely thankful for it.

The coaches know I want to be out there. They know I want the ball. But I'm not going to be disgruntled. That's not my nature that's not what I do.

People are still questioning the shoulder or questioning the foot. In my mind, I know I'm healthy. I know my body's right. Last year at this time, or even two years ago, I couldn't tell you that. Not if I was honest.

I want to play but I'm not going to do anything to hurt the team, ... I'm not going to go out there and not be in good enough condition to play or not going to go out there and still be hurt and play. I'm just going to hurt the team if I did that.

Vinatieri has two punts to his credit in the NFL, both pooch kicks . . . Steelers safety Troy Polamalu is tied for the league lead in sacks with three. The Steelers blitz often, with players coming from a variety of positions. The Patriots often keep a running back in to pick up blitzes, but tight ends are asked to monitor the blitz and, of course, quarterback Tom Brady and his receivers are charged with exploiting blitzes when they see them. ''They've had a bunch of secondary sacks here in these first couple of games, Belichick said. ''Even if you blitz a lot out of the secondary, it's still only eight, 10 times a game. There's just not that many opportunities. Polamalu has hit them all. ... Staley told the paper. ''I don't know how much. I can't make that decision, but I'll go out and see where I'm at.
