We need to find out how we can become the team we were for so long. Looking at it from this perspective, it's not like we're going in at 6 a.m. and playing football or doing anything crazy.

It's tough. It reminds you how fragile a season and a team can be.

We're always looking for something new.

I think there's a prototype we're all looking for, whether it's Brett Favre or Troy Aikman. And everyone's got that picture in their mind of the prototype at the position.

It's flattering to be considered. I'm looking forward to it.

We're looking at a transitory period in which things are a little bit tense, but if we get through this, we'll be in a much better place. I believe there is a role for private oil companies here, and that the government believes there is a role for us here.
