We knew Chicago was a good team going in there. We didn't know it was as good as it is on defense. We made a couple of errors, and they got ahead. That's the way they like to play.

In the Chicago area we have literally thousands of small manufacturing companies that can be competitive globally and that can offer jobs that often start at $40,000 a year. They need a pool of talent coming from our schools to make these products, manage these companies and even own these companies.

Jake was tremendously determined to play well because he felt badly about the last time. Not just him, but me and everybody else on the offense felt like we kind of gave this one away the last time.

I don't know how many adjectives I can use on this guy. He's stout, he's quick, he runs downhill. Somebody has to miss a block for this guy to have a minus play. That is kind of the philosophy [head coach John Fox] believes in and we all believe in on how to run an offense.

I kid him all the time, he's like a classic automobile. You only take him out on Sunday afternoon for a drive. You don't rev him up too much. But you do hit the gas once in a while just to remember what it was like when it was great.

We tried to make the pocket deeper and wider and that allowed Jake to step up and make some throws he wasn't able to make the last time. When you've gone from three points to 29, and from eight sacks to one and from four turnovers to one, you've done your job.
