We like our nucleus, the core of young players we have. We'd like to build something here. We want to be in position to add in the future, when the ages of unrestricted free agency goes down.

We've got the nucleus of our team in place. These young players ... we haven't scratched the surface of what they'll be able to accomplish.

We have a good nucleus of players who have been here, ... and they understand what we are all about, what we are trying to accomplish. And that is the strength of the football team.

We have three coming back as the nucleus and core of the team.

When you have a core group of young players as we do, the future looks bright.

I've seen young guys who've played great and I've seen them absolutely overwhelmed. I've seen young players literally in the fetal position during a series because they're overwhelmed by the intensity and the emotion of what's going on. And I've seen guys raise their level.
