Sometimes, ... it's like a pitcher. First time around, he can get people out, but then everybody's seen his stuff. He's got to mature, and it's the same thing with offensive linemen. If you don't mature in this league, you're in trouble.

Then there's the traditional reason -- free agency causing people to move around so much and destroying the continuity. You used to come to the line and you had one of two calls to make, and guys were able to make adjustments off that themselves. Now every call has a name. After a while the defensive linemen catch on. I mean you call a 'swoop,' and they can figure it out. OK, this is the way I'm gonna be blocked.

It is so wonderful, the whole idea that these people are taking off their time from work to come and help us. There are tons of people involved that are not only helping us but everybody who is rebuilding - it is awesome.

We have complaints all the time about limbs. With this new purchase, we will be able to tell our people that the service will be better soon.

It was alchemy. You know, people just really liked each other. We spent all our time off-camera together, we enjoy being with one another. I think we loved watching each another work.

It's good to get our first conference win. A lot of people saw some time, and that will help us down the road.
