Since he came over from Houston a couple of weeks ago, Joiner has been less than cool because he has been less than collected. Just acquiring his new team's terminology has taken time.

"I have great pride; everybody from Grambllng does," he proclaimed quietly, rubbing the scar that runs down his arm, "and I want to be a success in the National Football League and here.

I want to learn and, like Paul Warfield, get better with age." He believes good football players like good wine improve with age.
