Last week, we were three (botched) plays away from 100 more yards on offense. A lot gets blown out of proportion. A couple of things need to be fixed. If they get fixed, we're right back on track.

We realize our offense got a lot of guys back, and we've done a lot of things to improve our defense. We were 8-8 last year. We need to step up from there. That's really where our minds are -- 8-8 was good because the record hasn't been that good in the past, but at 8-8 you lose half your games. That's nothing to write home about, nothing to be proud of. We're definitely expecting to take drastic steps from last year into this year.

We were going with a little more three wides this week, so I got in a few more plays because of it. That's how it works in this offense.

It was easy today. When the defense gets you the ball like that so many times in a row, that many times on that side of the 50(-yard line) and a couple of times in the red zone, it really makes it a lot easier for you offensively.

If I scramble, I might get 5, 10, 15, 20 yards, but I'm not that fast. I always want to get it to the guys that can make plays.

Everybody knows we just put up probably the ugliest 400 yards that an offense can put up. I've never been on a team where we can just put up 300, 400 yards so easily and make it look so ugly. That just goes to show that if we can just go out and be flawless, nobody will be able to stop us.
