Competition, baby, that's what this league is. You have to bring it every day, and that's good for everybody.

We've just got to learn from it. When they make the catch, we have to make the tackle.

It's tough to come out here and lose like this. It's the first game of the season, you've got to let it go now. It's hard, but (today's) a new day. San Diego doesn't care if we feel bad. Go, get back to work.

And as far as a team liking you, that's just how it is; either they like you or they don't. What you can do is make it easier for them to like you. And it's easier to like you if you respect the game, respect yourself and work at your craft every day.

I can't complain, ... Courtney will be back, which means I'll be in the role that was anticipated. But everything so far is pretty good.

We had an up and down day. For our first day of competition and against the competition we had, I was pretty pleased. This is a good tournament for us because we can see how many more areas we need to work on.
