He's the best receiver I've done this year except maybe the kid at Houston (Andre Johnson) ... Pound for pound he's the toughest guy in the league. He's always been fast but he's taken it to another level. Great player.

BASRA, IRAQ - OCTOBER 18: People gather around a Land Rover as it arrives at the village Al Houta on October 18 2008 near Basra, Iraq. The trip by the 51 Sqn Royal Air Force Regiment Force Protection Wing was part of a 'key leader engagement' (KLE) visit to the village close to the Basra Airbase to recruit local labour and engage with the village shiek. Visits of this type are seen as key in efforts to continue winning the support of the local Iraqi population. Although improved security in the region has brought some benefits such as improved trade and commerce, much of the infrastructure remains in a poor state of repair. Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown has indicated that the number of UK troops could be scaled down - especially as the security situation in the south of the country continues to improve.

Quotes about Andre Johnson
Kevin Walter finds the end zone -- seven touchdowns this year, coming up on 700 yards ... With Andre Johnson on the other side, you know he's going to get easy coverage.

I am thankful to be working overtime at Verizon, because my fantasy team sucks (3-7) since I traded away Andre Johnson of the Houston Texans

Andre Johnson is one of the best receivers in the NFL right now ... He's playing at a high level and he's a guy that can win one-on-one. It's one of those things where you pick your poison [between Johnson and running back Steve Slaton], and we're going to try to contain those guys and make sure we don't let them take over the game.

We got off to a great start [in the earlier meeting], got up 10-0 and then they put up 27 unanswered points. I think we saw their whole arsenal. The front seven people they have on defense, [wide receiver] Andre Johnson and some good [running] backs. We have to continue to work and see if we can play better than we have the last couple of weeks and defend our home turf.
said Tony Dungy
From what I saw, Andre Johnson pulled Cedric Griffin's jersey and got up in the air ... I think he said something to me like, 'You didn't see what went on earlier in the play.' But there wasn't a flag earlier in the play, so it's not a tit-for-tat play. Just advocating for my guy.

Quotes from articles mentioning Andre Johnson
Last year, we played on Thursday night and it was the biggest game of my life ... You know, just to be out there under the lights in a prime-time game on Thursday night, and now it’s Monday night. Hopefully, we’ll go out there and we’ll do the same thing.
said Mario Williams
I think it can, because a lot of people really don’t know who we are, don’t know the type of players that we have here ... For us, it’s a chance to showcase and go out and show people what the Houston Texans are all about. If you play great on Monday night, everybody’s watching, so everybody’s going to see you and see what you’re doing on Monday night. People don’t forget how you perform on Monday night.
said DeMeco Ryans
He’s very capable of playing 45, 50 plays a game ... He’s shown that. He’s having a heck of a year. He’s right there battling with some of these other guys around the league.
said Gary Kubiak
We did a good job of covering the guys, but he (Garrard) did a better job of running with his feet and making plays on crucial downs like third and fourth down ... Running the ball is something I guess we weren’t really expecting or weren’t ready for, and they burned us on that.
said DeMeco Ryans
It’s just tough in man coverage to account for the quarterback, unless you have a guy that’s spying on the quarterback ... I just felt like I was trying to go through my reads and trying to hit the open guys, but sometimes you get flushed, sometimes your first two reads are covered and you can feel a lane and I would take off.
said David Garrard
