We gave them all the credit in the world. We got our butts kicked. It wasn't even a game. We know to beat them we have to play our best game, no question about it. They are an exceptional team.

Sure, I'd like to have a little bit of this stuff under our belt.

We will have five defensive coaches on the field. We want the players to see that where the emphasis is being placed. Defense is where you win championships.

He didn't make the plays last year and that is the story — you can do everything right but you have to produce. He learned. He was thrown in the fire because of the injuries. He had a chance to do some things and he did some things. We need him to do more.

We've got to find that competition at each spot because that is how people get better. Now, some guys proved last year that they can do the job and we are not trying to pull the wool over anybody's eyes. But guys get better when the guys behind them push them. That's the key.

The offensive line is the area I have the most concern with because we have to develop some depth.

We are not a big, great talented team, but we play with this big heart.

I'm proud of Jeff. He's stepped up and taken a leadership role. He's stronger. He's a terrific athlete.

We have a bunch of stuff that is a concern right now, if only because we are just two days into camp. But also because we are putting in two new schemes and there is so much learning going on right now.
