Before joining the New Orleans Saints this season, the veteran defensive tackle had never played on an NFL team that had won more than seven games in a season. So you can forgive the big guy for being a little giddy about the Saints' 8-3 start.

Not only has Rogers never played in a playoff game. He has never played in a game with playoff implications. The closest he came was his penultimate season in Detroit, when the Lions started 6-2 then lost six consecutive games to fall from contention.

Yet Roger has started only four games and recorded just 21 tackles. His playing time has been limited largely because the Saints have committed to a three-tackle rotation with Sedrick Ellis and Aubrayo Franklin. But he's not complaining. He's fresh and healthy because of the limited reps and is thoroughly enjoying the regular five-day workweeks, which result from the "Victory Mondays" Coach Sean Payton grants the team after wins.

"A Veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life."
