I was kind of skeptical at first. But Chris explained it would be a learning experience for all of us.

At first I thought we were going to build some cheap-o boat. But they?re pretty cool ? and pretty sturdy, too.

We've got some experience at receiver. They've done a great job this year making big plays for us. Me, as a first-year quarterback, it's big having those guys to be able to throw to and make big plays.

This is a young group. It's a good learning experience for us.

This was a good learning experience for us. This game was a carbon copy of the Gulf game (a 62-28 loss for NCT). It was a more athletic team that got us into a tempo we didn't want to get into. We don't normally get to see a team like this and we can't simulate this in practice and until you get use to seeing that on a regular basis, it's hard to get use to dealing with it.

I wasn't really pleased on how we came out against Hamilton. But it was a great learning experience for us.
