We're disappointed that it went down this way. We aggressively tried to pursue an athlete that we thought would dramatically impact our team, and we did it in constant concert and connection with the league and the management council.

It wasn't for lack of shots, ... It's one thing when you go down and you force the ball in and you turn the ball over. We've done that. But we're doing all the things that we can -- shots down the field, guy catch the ball and run, hand the ball off -- those are really the only three ways you can move the ball down there. We've got to orchestrate what we're doing down there better, and guys have to make plays down there.
