He wants to be a little more consistent passing the ball. He's done that this preseason. He's taken giant steps towards becoming a much better passer. Mike's been sharp this preseason with his reads and his footwork and his timing.

I felt I was inbounds; I tried to make sure I got my foot on the ground and dove, making sure to stay inbounds. The official called me out, so I can't really do much about it.

Coming into those situations and getting on the field in the heat of battle and having to make plays will definitely help. Whether it be the short term or long term, being in those environments will help me.

At first, the kids weren't showing up at the gym because of transportation and motivational reasons. We came in and provided rides and mentoring services to the kids.

In past years, we helped out with other after school programs in efforts to give something back, especially to the young children who still have a chance to develop their own identities and make the right choices to succeed.

Personally, the experience is amazing. To see where these kids live and grow up, it's an experience all in itself to just talk to them individually and feel that you have made some kind of positive impact on their life. Most of them really are good kids stuck in a bad situation and we are there to try to bring out that motivation and determination in them to succeed in life. And the kids have started to warm up to us. They are starting to bring their homework more often and have gained more interest in what we have to share with them.
