We're definitely not there yet. We're pretty good. Offensively, we do some good things, but we're still a ways away from where we need to be.

We just wanted to come out and be crisp, ... We wanted to get our work in, get in and get out and keep everybody healthy.

That's what the preseason's for, to get all the mistakes and the funk out.
