No question. But it's a bunch of malarkey, the whole thing. It's a flawed system.

Yes, no question about it. And that's good, because that pushes you. It even pushes me.

The old system was based on subjective factors and was fundamentally flawed. The question of whether the benefit levels now are adequate or not – that's something that the governor and the Legislature need to answer.

Mitchell said. ''He's still ticking pretty good. No question the system you run in is very important. How do you get your yards? Ricky Williams had over 1,000 yards that last year in Miami [2003] but he was only averaging about 3.5 yards a carry. That's tough, tough yardage. Your body will only take but so much of that. Corey can get those yards, but he gets them outside, too.

It could very well end up being more than 3,500. There's no question that this is going to be a big win for us.

I don't consider it an admission that the system was flawed. I've maintained consistently that we would try to make those improvements that were necessary to the process as we moved along.
