We've been getting hammered a little bit. It's almost like we're not going to contribute to whatever happens this season. Guys are going to step up to the challenge this year, take it upon ourselves as a defensive unit to go out there and get it done. You'll see a big change in us this season.

It's not too much pressure. That's what we drafted him for. You throw him in early, and you hope that midway through the season, he's playing like he's been there before.

The last game, we didn't start off well. We let them drive down the field and score a touchdown, and that's something we can't do.

Any time you are 1-4 it's a challenge to keep everybody into it. It is going to come down to the individual and you hope you don't lose guys one by one.

You knew the fans were ready to explode, waiting for that. He's going to have fun with them this year.

I think it is what it is -- we come out and we play well early in the game and then just let it slip away late in the game. It is second team, third team. What we're looking at is when our starters are in there, we're doing a good job.
