We have to get better. We're a better team. We know what our potential is. Certainly I need to do a lot more offensively. I can only speak for myself. I've got to step up to the plate and do my job.

We've just got to get better. We've got to get better.
We would love be 9-5 or something like that. But we've been on the road for basically 14 days. We're very excited to get home.
