So it's definitely a great challenge, ... We can see where we are a little bit and see how we are fitting together.

The older you get, the more you hate preseason games, but deep down, you need them.

That's one of those things where you wish it was like the Patriots last week, that we could play on Thursday. You want to get the bad taste out of your mouth as fast as possible.

Both teams wanted to do some things with their defense, I think that's clear. And everybody is going to want to show they did the right thing.

Was it more than we really wanted to do? Yes, of course. But in any game situation, you can't be surprised because, depending on what the offense gives you, you always have to be ready to do whatever's called.

It's definitely a building block.

It's his 35th year in the league and he still makes 100 percent of his workouts.

It means a lot, ... Whether you're a starter or a backup, pretty much everyone gets close to equal snaps. It's tremendous if you can have your second guy come in and play as well as your first-string guys, because you never miss a beat. It's definitely a big plus for us.

I think that's one thing we still have to really work on is trying to get four-man pressure on the quarterback, so the linebackers can help the corners or vice versa in coverage, ... That's something we're still trying to work on, and we're going to keep working on it so we can alleviate some of the pressure on the linebackers.
