far enough to really chart out a course over the next several years.

As far as 'Syria next on the list', we made clear that it is not,

We're very pleased to have Kyle here for the next several years. Last season he exemplified himself as an important part of our defense through his work ethic and intensity on and off the field. It helps us to get something worked out with him before free agency, and I think both parties in this case were able to accomplish what they wanted with the deal.

Alone! Alone! No beacon, far or near! No chart, no compass, and no anchor stay!

This is just the next step in getting to where we want to be. Of course, we wanted to avenge last year's loss but our main goal from the beginning of the season was to get back to states and then win the whole thing.

I have a short attention span. And when I'm in the middle of one thing, I'm then drawn to the next thing.
