Without a doubt, our guards are better now. I'm excited to work with these guys. It's a veteran group with unbelievable experience. Both have won Super Bowls. That's experience you can't measure.

It takes time to gel, no doubt about. You can't come in and plug a hole, you've got work at it.

My thing was, ’Everybody just relax,’ ... The game was never out of reach. When things were going bad it was either 11 or 12 minutes left in the game and it was 10-6.

Like I've been saying right from the start, it's easy when you've got guys who have been there before, been on successful lines and know what it takes. It's been a blessing for me personally, just to have two guards who know exactly what's going on and have that veteran experience.

Obviously, we were 4-12 for a reason last year. I think Jeff did what he thought needed to be done. A lot of the guys he called out aren't here anymore.

He took it with good spirits.
