I'm at the point I want to feel good after a game. We've got a bad taste in our mouths. We've had it there for weeks.

This is the best the line has played in the four years that I've been here.

I think we've done some things pretty well this year.

You play these teams that run all these elaborate fronts and blitzes. You've got to know each play against six different looks. So you can't go into a game with so many plays that you don't know everything cold. It's not a matter of trying to trick them. It's a matter of recognizing where they are and doing your job.

It takes everybody, it's 11 guys. Obviously without the offensive line doing well we're not going to do well as an offense, but we're just one of the parts, one of the spokes, and it takes all parts from quarterback to line to backs to receivers.

You earn respect in this league by playing and playing well. Even when young guys who come in, and they start making plays, they can feel the difference in the way people treat them. Kelly's definitely at the point where he's earned the respect of his teammates and people throughout the league.

They're good. They roll a lot of guys in and out to keep them fresh, and they have some athletic guys who get off the ball quick and can pass rush.

When you have time to sit back and look at it, we never thought we'd be where we are right now. Frustrating probably isn't a good enough word to describe how we feel.

I explored some other options around the league but felt most comfortable with the direction this team is headed in.
