"You never know when it is your time to be out there, and when the time comes you've got to step up."We're playing the Cowboys, Sunday night, a prime-time game. Who wouldn't be excited? I'm looking forward to the opportunity to go out and start and have a big game."It won't be Rouse's first chance to start, as he opened three straight games as a rookie in '07 when starting free safety Nick Collins was sidelined with a knee injury.</blockquote>
