Focus on what you have, not what you don?t have. We had great defense; we were running the ball well, played solid special teams. That?s what you focus on and hope the others can compensate and eventually catch up.

Ray takes a beating inside there. Sometimes, Ray watches and observes and is ready to go. That's what we hope will be the case.
certainly ground happens hope starting wants zero
I think he really wants to be here. He really wants to be back with us. You never know, but I would certainly hope it happens for us. If we get Duane back, and you look at our defense, what we still have left, we're not starting at ground zero with that group. And that's the perception.

We're going to be very supportive of Jim's looking and hopefully being able to procure a head coaching job. I think Jim would be outstanding. If indeed that doesn't happen, Jim will be back next year. Some of the speculation I've seen is just that, because Jim and I have already had discussions about some of the things we need to do.

We tried to frame it as a playoff-caliber game because it was for them, and therefore it was for us. The whole team -- and Kyle -- stepped up to the challenge.
careful counted ease figuring great people
We just got to be careful now, we can't get him hurt. I don't know if that is something he and his people counted on, figuring great he signed, he will start. No he won't. I've got to find out where he is at (mentally) and ease him into it.
