When you're working against the best every day, that's good. When you get to a game, it might be like a day off.

The last couple of days, we've really fallen off. We're not doing the stuff we need to do fundamentally. We don't have five guys playing together. We have five guys, but no offensive line. We'll just keep working at it until we find five who will play together.

He's a tough kid, a hard-nosed kid. I felt sure he would definitely go through some spring. I didn't know how much he'd end up doing, but it doesn't surprise me at all.

Joe Cope is still the starting center. I'm going to rotate J.P. in there to get as many reps as I can with the Duckworth factor keeping him out of there. But he's competing for a starting job.

A big part of it is our defensive ends are pretty good. I'm not so sure they're not better than what they were last year because they are improved and the speed is better. It's going to do nothing but make (Hart) better and the other tackles better.

He wasn't by himself. There were some other guys that had rough days.
