Like our first game last week, hopefully they're going to have some first game things happen to them, because I think it pretty much happens to everybody. We're just happy to be home and ready to get started here.

I think everybody respects them, and they know it's going to be a different game than last time. I don't think it's a trap game. I did mention to the guys in practice that they can't start feeling too good about themselves.

I felt we played poorly the entire game, and Birmingham made us pay for it in the second half, that's for sure. We've got a long ways to go. We just have to keep getting better each week.

(Jenkins) had some foot problems, and he'll be the first one to tell you he didn't have a good camp. We didn't have the luxury of keeping him around longer. It's just bad timing, and it's unfortunate. I really didn't get a good look at him.

He's very quick and he's a very good athlete. We'll just try to keep everything in front of us in the secondary. If we can come up and make tackles on hitches, that's OK. We just don't want to give up the big play. If we can play our assignments the way we're supposed to, we should keep him bottled up.

We needed to get another center in here. Now we have two proven centers in (Antoine) Murphy and Lacey. He practiced (Wednesday) morning. He looks good.
